Genocides Involving the Ottoman Empire[edit]
Non-Genocide Massacres[edit]
Massacres of Diyarbekir (1895)
Massacres during the Greek War of Independence
Constantinople massacre of 1821
Genocides Involving but Not Committed or Instigated by the Ottoman Empire[edit]
Massacres of Albanians in the Balkan Wars[edit]
The Massacres of Albanians in the Balkan Wars occurred in certain Vilayets (Ottoman Turkish for "province") within the Ottoman Empire, specifically Scutari (Vilayet), Kosovo (Vilayet), and Manastir (Vilayet). These Vilayets were geographically part of a larger conflict between the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria, Greece, Serbia, and Montenegro.
The massacres of Albanians in the Balkan Wars were not primarily committed by the Ottoman Empire, though some Ottoman military members were involved in its commission, the primary actors were the Serbian Army, Montenegrin Ground Army, and Chetnik Detachments of the Yugoslav Army.
Circassian Genocide[edit]
Circassia (North of the Ottoman Empire, across the Black Sea; Present day Russia) and the Ottoman Empire fought alongside one another in the Russo-Turkish War (1828–1829). After their defeat, the Treaty of Adrianople (1829) was signed, granting the Russian Empire additional territory around Circassia. Part of the treaty of established that the Ottoman Empire would cede Circassia to the Russian Empire; however, Circassia was an independent state - not under the control of the Ottoman Empire - and did not agree to ceding their land to the Russian Empire.
The Circassian Genocide occurred in Circassia during the 1860s in the late stages and aftermath of the Russo-Circassian War (1763–1864) (part of the Caucasian War) and was committed by the Russian Empire (c. 1721–1917).
In the late stages and aftermath of the Caucasian War (c. 1817–1864) the indigenous population of the North Caucus region, primarily Islamic Circassians, were transferred or relocated to the Ottoman Empire (among other locations).
Dissolution and Current Territory[edit]
After the Central Powers (which the Ottoman Empire was a part of) lost World War I in 1918, internal political discourse and Occupation by Allied Powers resulted in the dissolution, collapse, and partitioning of the Ottoman Empire's territories.
From 1919 to 1922, Turkish Nationalists fought the Turkish War of Independence which ended with the Lausanne Conference of 1922–1923, the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne, and the establishment of the Republic of Turkey. Though the former Ottoman Empire's territories are controlled by a number of modern states, the Republic of Turkey is seen as the successor state to the Ottoman Empire (see History of Turkey and History of the Republic of Turkey).
Presently, the territories of the former empire comprise (in part or in whole) Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Egypt, Sudan, Libya, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Bulgaria, Greece, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Albania, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1][2][3]
