The Armenian People From Ancient to Modern Times, Volume II: Foreign Dominion to Statehood: The Fifteenth Century to the Twentieth Century

Publisher: St. Martin's Press, New York, 1997. 493 pages. Language: English. This volume presents the differing Armenian experiences under Turkic, Persian and Russian rule. The intellectual revival and role of diasporan communities in the articulation of programs for reform and emancipation are explored. In the Twentieth-century, the Armenian people fell victim to genocide in the Ottoman Empire, failed in their attempt to establish an independent republic after World War I, continued their national existence in Soviet Armenia for seven decades, and emerged once more into separate statehood in the final decade. Armenian history is in many ways the history of survival.
