"This is a military history of Armenian insurrection in the Ottoman Empire from 1890-1915
and the evolution of an Ottoman counterinsurgency response. It describes the growth
and activities of the Armenian revolutionary committees in the context of empire-wide
insurgency. At the beginning of the First World War, the Ottoman government believed
that the Armenian revolutionary committees directly threatened the empire's military
lines of communications which were weakened by the concentration of the Ottoman army
on the front lines away from the empire's core areas. In 1915, the Ottoman government
pursued a counterinsurgency campaign against the Armenian revolutionary committees
from a position of constrained resources, resulting in a strategy of population relocation
explicitly designed to separate insurgents from a base of support in a narrowly defined
area. Using archival sources, the book establishes a comprehensive framework for understanding
why the Ottoman state relocated the Armenian population of six Anatolian provinces
in 1915 but did not relocate Armenians living elsewhere in the empire"
