This episode explores the complex historical backdrop leading to the Armenian Genocide, beginning with the Ottoman Empire's long decline and its shift from "benign neglect" to outright persecution of Armenian minorities. It examines the impact of economic woes, European interference, and the internal conflicts within Armenian society as they faced increasing nationalism and state-backed violence. The discussion culminates in the Hamidian Massacres and the rise of revolutionary groups, setting the stage for future atrocities.
All good rebellions start at a bar. Note that we did not say 'successful' there. Quinn from the Failure to Launch podcast joins us as a guest host to discuss a time when francophone and anglophone Canadians joined forces to fight the British in hopes of declaring independence.
