History's Wildest Day? 5 Events You Won't Believe! #ytshorts #shorts

[deborahdeshoftim5779]

Just realised that today is the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, committed by the Ottoman Turks during World War I (1914- 1918). Around 1.5 million Armenians faced expulsion or mass murder at the hands of this Empire, whose brutality still isn’t given as much scrutiny or criticism compared to historic Western Empires. I don’t know much about Armenia, but from my short research it appears that hatred of Christians, as well as politics, was the motivation for this unthinkable crime. While the Turkish government continues to deny the Armenian genocide and penalise anyone who confirms the truth, we should stand with the Armenian people and say “Never Again”.

NEW MAP: Europe 54: Iberian–Armenian War (15 Jan 54 AD) https://buff.ly/2MwwPp3 Exploiting Parthian instability, Rhadamistus of Iberia invaded Armenia in 50 AD and executed the king, even though both were Roman allies. Although Rome accepted Rhadamistus’ power grab, Parthia—by now under the firm rule of Vologases I (51–78)—did not and in 52 AD marched into Armenia with their own claimant, Vologases’ brother Tiridates. However, the expedition was crippled by winter and disease, forcing Tiridates to withdraw the following year. #europe #history #welovehistory #map #ancienthistory #classicalhistory #armenianhistory #europeanhistory #january #january15 #kushanempire #margiana #parthia #parthianempire #romanempire #romans #roman #ancientrome #romanhistory #maps #newmap #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics (at Artashat, Armenia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1eq9S8AQeV/?igshid=85n33v01mjud

A question for Mod Araxi! Do you know of any Armenian blogs worth following?

Yes I do! My personal favorites are:

@soultranquilbluntz - not really a blog about Armenia but run by a lovely Armenian with lots of Armenia content

@sariaghjik - again not 100% about Armenia but a lot of good content, lots about the genocide

@armeniangenocidehistory - pretty self-explanatory 

@artist-sarian - not about Armenia but an Armenian painter with many beautiful paintings of Armenia

@vartanm - lots of Armenia stuff but some of it is in Armenian so if you can’t read the alphabet or don’t know the language some of it might be pretty useless to you

@shakarlicious - another one not about Armenia but run by an Armenian with good posts about Armenia, although they are a bit sparse

@vicalbert - more non-Armenian centered blogs run by Armenians, with good Armenia content but also a lot of fandom stuff so if you wish to avoid that probably not this one

@artaxata - a REALLY good one with a whole page dedicated to Armenia and also mythology (Armenian and non-Armenian) if you’re into that

@armenianhistory - again pretty self-explanatory

@armenianhighland - about all aspects of Armenia, lots of really good original content so go support them!

@armenian-problems-blog - not anything of substance but I think it’s funny so I'm putting it here

@luvarmenia - pretty pictures of Armenia

These aren’t in any particular order, I just typed them as they came to mind so check out all of them!

you can also check out this thread if you’re looking to follow other Armenian people

Also if you see this and you have an Armenia blog tell me and I’ll add you to the list!

NEW MAP: Europe 1826: Russo-Persian War of 1826–28 (14 Sep 1826) https://buff.ly/2UuCTBT In 1826 Russian troops encroached on Persian territory in Armenia, disregarding the direct orders of the Tsar—who was focused on the Greek revolution against the Ottoman Empire—not to provoke Persia. The Persians responded by invading the Russian Caucasus, inciting uprisings among local rulers and tribes. Despite initial setbacks, Russia eventually gained the upper hand and in 1828 forced Persia to cede its Armenian territories. #europe #history #welovemaps #map #1820s #1826 #newmap #welovehistory #armenianhistory #russianhistory #iranianhistory #persianhistory #persia #europeanhistory #russianempire #persianempire #greekrevolution #greekindependence #caucasus #september #september14 #ottomanempire #maps #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #middleeast #southwestasia (at Yerevan, Armenia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv2JhweA_3f/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rebwa2m2csx4

“Crane with branch of Pomegranates” Inspired from an Armenian Manuscript from the 12th century. This was one of many works created for a centennial installation / exhibition for the Armenian Genocide that I partnered with Father Vazken Movsesian / @inhisshoes_ministries to create. The Armenian crane can be viewed as a mystical creature who symbolizes happiness, good fortune and longevity. The Armenian pomegranate is a staple fruit in Armenian homes worldwide that symbolizes fertility and abundance. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #contemporarydrawing #armenia #armenian #armenianhistory #pomegranate #crane #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #drawing #ricepaper #inkdrawing #asianinspiredart #armenianartist #armenianart #armeniangenocide #holycreature #mystical #longevity #symboloflife #happiness #symbolism #

Southern Asia 98 years ago today: Turkish-Armenian War (28 Nov 1920) https://buff.ly/2Sjizin The Treaty of Sevres granted Armenia a large swathe of eastern Anatolia as reparation for the Ottoman Empire’s persecution of the Armenians during World War I. However this territory was now under the control of the Turkish Nationalists, who invaded the Republic of Armenia itself in September. Facing the prospect of Turkish occupation, the Armenians were forced to renounce their claims under Sevres on December 3. The following day, Soviet troops, who were already invading from Azerbaijan, entered Yerevan, bringing Armenia’s independence to an end. #southernasia #history #welovemaps #map #1920 #1920s #turkishhistory #armenianhistory #treatyofsevres #greaterarmenia #ottomanempire #republicofarmenia #europeanhistory #worldhistory #november #november28 #southwestasia #caucasus #sovietunion #ussr #sovietrussia #armeniassr #worldwar1 #ww1 #worldwari #wwi #greatwar #maps #historyteacher #historybuff (at Yerevan, Armenia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqt0b7_gCJM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=356v3ziblsyb
