  Ottoman Empire - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Ottoman Empire   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The Ottoman Empire achieved its greatest power and wealth during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent (ruling 1520–66).
In 1812 the northern boundary of the Ottoman Empire was pushed southwards as far as the River Prut.
In 1912 and 1913 the Ottoman Empire was involved in two conflicts known as the Balkan Wars; it lost territory in the first, but regained some of it in the second.

 IS THE FIGURE 1,5 MILLION FOR THE ARMENIANS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Putting aside all the figures of Armenian origin which are evidently exaggerated, the figures of western origin vary between 1,056,000 and 1,555,000, and the mean value, being 1,300,000, is almost the same as that in the Ottoman statistics based on the actual census.
The first conclusion to be reached by this table is now that the total Armenian population is 1,300,000, it is impossible that 1,5 million Armenians have died.
When it is taken into account the figure for the Armenians who have not been subject to deportation, immigrated prior to and during the war, and reached their destination at the end of the deportation process, the same conclusion is drawn about the loss.

 (CENSUS) Tall Armenian Tale: The Other Side of the Falsified Genocide   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Professor Justin McCarthy's sophisticated demographic study examines all data given for the Armenian population by all sources, globally and province by province, and he arrives at the conclusion that there were 1,465,000 Armenians in Anatolia in 1912.
To put the Armenian loss into perspective, it should be noted that the Muslims of the war zone suffered equally horrific loss: The Muslim population of the Van province decreased by 62%, that of Bitlis by 42%, that of Erzurum by 31%.
The total Armenian losses to that date would then be between 450,000 and 850,000 according as we estimate the population before the war at 1,600,000 or at 2,000,000.

 Muslim-Christian Relations, The Good, the Bad
It was in response to the horrific oppression in Jerusalem at the hands of the Crusaders in the 11th century and the need to free the area of their control that Sultan Salah el Deen Ayyubi (Saladin) liberated Jerusalem from them in 1187.
The predominantly Christian Armenians consider the greatest disaster in their history to be their murder and deportation from Turkey during World War I. In 1915 as Turkish Armenians aligned with the pro-Christian Tsarist Russian enemy, the Turkish army reacted strongly against this betrayal.
Although, according to Encyclopedia Britannica, statistics are disputed regarding the Armenian population in Ottoman Anatolia at the outbreak of World War I and the number of Armenians killed during this deportation, a large number of Armenians died during this civil war.

 (RUDY RUMMEL) Tall Armenian Tale: The Other Side of the Falsified Genocide   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Rummel goes out of his way to minimize the massacre figures caused by Armenians as eager as he is to maximize the figures caused by Turks (to his credit, at least he acknowledges Armenians caused mass murder, a fact most hypocritical genocide scholars wouldn't be caught dead admitting).
Whereas in previous years the Russians conducted their ethnic cleansing campaigns in conquered Ottoman lands (which surely added to the increasing animosity between the Muslim and Armenian populations, as refugees flooded into the sole safe haven of the Sick Man, ill-prepared to carry them), in WWI Russia largely stayed her hand.
There are many accounts of Russian officers (similar to French officers) who were sickened by the extent of Armenian atrocities, many occurring when Russian forces were reduced to a trickle, with the advent of their revolution back home.
