A second wave of deportations and massacres occurred in the early 1920s resulting in entire Armenian communities in Asia minor being completely destroyed. Much violence ensued the decline of Ottoman power that wouldn't have that many consequences from other nations.
There had obviously been many horrible events taking place, and no effort was made to conceal them. Quite the opposite was done, in the way that some of the killings had been done in public to strike fear into the Armenians. Not many nations took actions against the Ottoman empire at the time of the huge genocide's occurrence. Although there was international anger towards the events, not much was done about it. Alba Longoria is again quoted in saying, "Despite international outrage at the atrocities of the Armenian Genocide that left the communities of the Armenians in ruins, which would cause present day Armenia to be only a fraction of the size of the Armenia in World War I times, no punitive action was taken against the Ottoman Empire to stop the genocide, and Armenians continued to be publicly killed, and there exists a great deal of evidence that shows how brutal and numerous these killings were." (Longoria, The Armenian Genocide). This enhances the image of the actions that went unpunished and were left to continue on until the Ottoman Empire had been defeated in World War I. People stood by and allowed gross indecencies, to say the least, happen to the Armenian citizens and their culture. The lack of action taken on the Ottoman offenders caused the murders and torture to continue for a long time, and they even influenced future Genocides, like the infamous Holocaust, where millions of Jews were murdered in secret at the hands of Adolf Hitler in the Nazi Death camps. What people did not realize was that the lack of action would inevitably come back to haunt them, because of not only the fact that Hitler aimed at and killed a lot of other people, not only the Jews, and the people who did not take action in putting out the ember that was the Armenian Genocide allowed a much larger fire to ignite, surge, and spread.
