The campaign was chronicled in the archives of the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia, the Vatican, and the Ottoman Empire. Through expulsions, expropriations, and extermination, by 1923 no Christians to speak of, including Assyrians and Greeks, remained across Anatolian Turkey. In their zeal to create a homogeneous society exclusively Turkish and Muslim, the Young Turk radicals sought to exclude the Christian populations that had long inhabited Asia Minor. The Armenian Genocide was perpetrated by the Committee of Union and Progress, the radical wing of the Young Turk party that seized power in the Ottoman Empire. Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, informed the American government on July 16, 1915, that 'from harrowing reports of eye witnesses it appears that a campaign of race extermination is in progress.'

As early as June 5, 1915, he reported: 'it is without doubt a carefully planned scheme to thoroughly extinguish the Armenian race.' On the basis of this and additional cables from other American consuls, Henry Morgenthau, U.S. Jesse Jackson, the American Consul in Aleppo, observed the entire process of deportation as hundreds of thousands were routed through Aleppo on their way from the fertile valleys of Armenia and the commercial centers of Anatolia to the parched wastes of the Syrian Desert. By 1923, by the hardships and brutalities associated with the deportations, the continuous massacres, the epidemics that raged in the concentration camp sites that lacked all sanitation, and by the pangs of thirst and starvation, 1.5 million Armenians had been killed. It continued even after the international treaties designed to bring peace to the world and to bring to justice those responsible for war crimes were signed in Versailles in 1919 and in Sèvres in 1920. The Armenian Genocide started in the thick of World War I but continued after the war ended in 1918.

Between the years 19, the vast majority of the 2.1 million Armenians living in Ottoman Turkey were uprooted from their homes through a deliberate policy conceived by the Ottoman government and implemented by its administrative machinery, including the army, police, post, interior ministry, rail system, and special agencies created for the express purpose of deporting, robbing, and slaughtering the Armenian population.
