1888 CE to 1899 CE

The Armenians' tendency toward Europeanization in the last decades of the nineteenth century antagonizes Turkish officials and encourages their view that Armenians are a foreign, subversive element in the sultan's realm.

By 1890 the rapid growth of the Kurdish population in Anatolia, combined with the immigration of Muslims from the Balkans and the Caucasus, had made the Armenian population of Anatolia an
increasingly endangered minority.

In 1895 Ottoman suspicion of the westernized Armenian population leads to the massacre of
three hundred thousand Armenians by special order of the Ottoman government.
