The Turkish government instigated the Great Famine of Mount Lebanon during the time they were also committing the Armenian Genocide.
When few noticed, Adolf Hitler seems to have taken it heart[0]:
> "Our strength consists in our speed and in our brutality. Genghis Khan led millions of women and children to slaughter -- with premeditation and a happy heart. History sees in him solely the founder of a state. It's a matter of indifference to me what a weak western European civilization will say about me."
> "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"

- eitland 9y agoWow, thats seriously disgusting to read. I've been quite aware of the history but to read how he takes inspiration of cruelty makes it even more disgusting. (Oh, and yes I'm fully aware a number of others like the French terror reign, Pol Pot, Rwanda, China, former Yugoslavia, Japan/China, India/minorities, a number of colonies of Western countries, natives of south and north America but for some reason the Armenians seems to go unnoticed. Thanks for reminding.)
