In April 1909, a powerful surge of violence shook the province of Adana in the late Ottoman Empire, killing 20,000 Armenians and 2000 Turks over a few days. In observance of United Nations Genocide Prevention Day, Dr. Bedross Der Matossian examines the historical, social, and economic factors that contributed to this early case of mass violence in the 20th century in our latest AGBU WebTalks video.

Despite the significance of this event, the Adana Massacres remain a topic understudied in Ottoman and Middle Eastern history. It is, however, a powerful example of how quickly a situation may get out of control and lead to cataclysmic waves of violence when public opinion and emotions are manipulated and misled, revealing the devastating effect of media weaponization and the spread of conspiracy theories.
