Armenia, Australia & the Great War

About this book

A powerful story of compassion amid calamity: Australia's response to the Armenian Genocide during World War I.

April 24, 1915, marks the beginning of two great epics of the First World War: the Allied invasion of Gallipoli and the start of the Armenian Genocide. This book tells the neglected story of how Australian humanitarians aided people they barely knew amid one of the 20th century's worst calamities.

Armenia, Australia & the Great War reveals the profound impact of the Armenian Genocide on Australian society, inspiring a sustained humanitarian effort and shaping the nation's understanding of international responsibility. It is for readers interested in:

  • The Armenian Genocide and its global impact
  • Australia's role in international humanitarian efforts
  • The intersection of war, politics, and human rights
