1918 - Armenian Massacre

“The Armenian massacre was the greatest crime of the war, and the failure to act against Turkey is to condone it because the failure to deal radically with the Turkish horror means that all talk of guaranteeing the future peace of the world is mischievous nonsense; and because when we now refuse to war with Turkey we show that our announcement that we meant ‘to make the world safe for democracy’ was insincere claptrap.”—Theodore Roosevelt, U.S. President (1901-1909)
