2. why do you think the plague has been such a problem in the past? what effects has the plague had?

Well there was no cure for the plague and people never understood it because it was a combo of multiple desiese's. The plague killed over 20 million people but it also was good. Workers got better wages because there was not as much choice for employers to chose.

The best description of the Turkish government to the American is Genocide. The term Genocide is intentional action to destroy a people (usually defined as an ethnic, national, racial, or religious group) in whole or in part. This shift toward Turkish nationalism left the Armenian political leadership in an impossible position.
