Late Ottoman genocides

Late Ottoman genocides is a historiographical theory which claims that the concurrent Armenian, Greek, and Assyrian genocides were a single event rather than separate events, and it sometimes includes the earlier Hamidian massacres of Armenians or deportations of Kurds. Although some sources, including The Thirty-Year Genocide, characterize this event as a genocide of Christians, according to Dominik J. Schaller and Jürgen Zimmerer, such an approach "ignores the Young Turks' massive violence against non-Christians".[1][2][3][4][5] Uğur Ümit Üngör states that mass violence in the late Ottoman empire and its successors includes, but is not limited to, the Adana massacre, persecution of Muslims during Ottoman contraction, Armenian Genocide, Assyrian Genocide, 1921 Koçgiri massacres, Greek genocide, "the mass violence against Kurds from the 1925 Sheikh Said conflict to the 1938 Dersim massacre", the 1934 Thrace pogroms, through the 1955 Istanbul pogrom against Greeks and Armenians.[6]

According to Thomas de Waal, there is a lack of a work similar to Timothy Snyder's Bloodlands that attempts to cover all of the mass violence in Anatolia and the Caucasus between 1914 and 1921. De Waal suggests that while "the Genocide of 1915–1916 would stand out as the biggest atrocity of this period... [such a work] would also establish a context that would allow others to come to terms with what happened and why, and also pay homage to the many Muslims who died tragically in this era".[7]
