The Armenian genocide depicts the deportation and killing of the Armenians, which was executed by the Ottoman Empire Turks. Turkish government leaders in 1915 as World War I was taking place created a plan to massacre and expel the Armenians, whereby the early 1920s, between 600,000 and 1.5 million of the Armenians, were dead and the number that had been removed from the nation was high (History.com, 2019). The Myanmar genocide depicts persecution led by the government of Myanmar on Rohingya Muslims. The first phase was between 2016 October and 2017 January, and the second one started in 2017 August (BBC News, 2020). Thus, both Armenian and Myanmar genocides are perpetrated by the governments, and they involve killing and removing individuals from the different groups.            Both Armenian and Myanmar genocides were perpetrated because of religious division and potential disloyalty. In the Armenian case, the Turkish could not accept the resources that the Christians had as compared to the Muslims. In Myanmar, there is massive ethnic cleansing, which is based on religious differences between the involved groups.            The root cause of the Armenian genocide was the fact that the Armenians were wealthier and educated as compared to the Turkish neighbors, which was a fundamental threat to the success of this group. Thus, suspicions emerged where Armenian Christians were considered to be loyal to governments founded on Christianity as compared to the Ottoman caliphate. In Myanmar, the root cause of the genocide was the ethnic crisis, which was being experienced in society. The government of Myanmar has continuously denied Rohingya people the chance to vote during the elections (Council on Foreign Relations, 2020). Such has been escalated where peace conferences are held, and the Rohingya representatives are not invited.            In Armenia, the people thought that the establishment of the “Young Turks” as a group of new reformers would help in solving their problem by putting them in equal places at the new state. Unfortunately, the new group focused on “Turkify” of the empire, where Christian non-Turks were considered as a significant threat to the new government (History.com, 2019). When the Turks got into World War I, the military leaders began indicating that Armenians were traitors. The intensification of the war saw to it that the Armenians formed organized battalions that helped the Russian army in fighting the Turks. The event led to the onset of the massacre where the Armenians were sent away from their homes to Mesopotamian desert without water or food. The marchers were often stripped naked, and they would walk in the scorching sun where they died while those who tried getting a rest were shot. The Turks also organized killing squads where some people were burned alive, others were thrown off cliffs, and some drowned in rivers. The children of Armenians were also kidnapped and forced into Islam.           The Myanmar gen.

1. The Armenian genocide depicts the deportation and
killing of the Armenians, which was executed by the Ottoman
Empire Turks. Turkish government leaders in 1915 as World
War I was taking place created a plan to massacre and expel the
Armenians, whereby the early 1920s, between 600,000 and 1.5
million of the Armenians, were dead and the number that had
been removed from the nation was high (History.com, 2019).
The Myanmar genocide depicts persecution led by the
government of Myanmar on Rohingya Muslims. The first phase
was between 2016 October and 2017 January, and the second
one started in 2017 August (BBC News, 2020). Thus, both
Armenian and Myanmar genocides are perpetrated by the
governments, and they involve killing and removing individuals
from the different groups.
Both Armenian and Myanmar genocides were perpetrated
because of religious division and potential disloyalty. In the
Armenian case, the Turkish could not accept the resources that
the Christians had as compared to the Muslims. In Myanmar,
there is massive ethnic cleansing, which is based on religious
differences between the involved groups.
The root cause of the Armenian genocide was the fact
that the Armenians were wealthier and educated as compared to
the Turkish neighbors, which was a fundamental threat to the
success of this group. Thus, suspicions emerged where
Armenian Christians were considered to be loyal to
governments founded on Christianity as compared to the
Ottoman caliphate. In Myanmar, the root cause of the genocide
was the ethnic crisis, which was being experienced in society.
The government of Myanmar has continuously denied Rohingya
people the chance to vote during the elections (Council on
Foreign Relations, 2020). Such has been escalated where peace

2. conferences are held, and the Rohingya representatives are not
invited.
In Armenia, the people thought that the establishment of
the “Young Turks” as a group of new reformers would help in
solving their problem by putting them in equal places at the new
state. Unfortunately, the new group focused on “Turkify” of the
empire, where Christian non-Turks were considered as a
significant threat to the new government (History.com, 2019).
When the Turks got into World War I, the military leaders
began indicating that Armenians were traitors. The
intensification of the war saw to it that the Armenians formed
organized battalions that helped the Russian army in fighting
the Turks. The event led to the onset of the massacre where the
Armenians were sent away from their homes to Mesopotamian
desert without water or food. The marchers were often stripped
naked, and they would walk in the scorching sun where they
died while those who tried getting a rest were shot. The Turks
also organized killing squads where some people were burned
alive, others were thrown off cliffs, and some drowned in rivers.
The children of Armenians were also kidnapped and forced into
Islam.
The Myanmar genocide experience involved the
discrimination of the people in the society. The Rohingya
villages were burned, and individuals killed. These acts caused
mental challenges to the communities, which made people flee
their homes as they focus on getting to safety (Council on
Foreign Relations, 2020). Further, the Rohingya community
could not participate in state affairs that include elections or
peace conferences.
Genocide can be prevented through an examination of the
possible crimes towards humanity. The early signs include
atrocities crimes. There are also cases where the government
tries to exterminate a large portion of its citizens or subjects

3. because they belong to a specific group (Anderson & Anderson,
2014). The group could be defined based on political affiliation,
ethnicity, religion, or gender, among others. The emergence of
group hatreds is a key indicator of the possibility of genocide to
take place.
Conclusion
In conclusion, genocide is an act that is against human rights.
Thus, remembering and honoring genocide helps in giving the
victims hope for the future. Further, it becomes possible to
create awareness of genocide, its negative impacts, and what
can be done to prevent such acts occurring again in the future.
The process also creates a platform to advocate for working
towards achieving a peaceful life in communities.
