More commonly called the Armenian Genocide of the Armenians, 1.5 to 2 million Armenians were killed in Turkey during and just after World War 1. Most of the world considers it to have been a genocide but the modern Turkish government insists the deaths were the result of widespread poverty and disruption at the end of the war and not a targeted killing of Armenians.
The Massacre started (roughly) around 1895 under Sultan Abdul Hamid the Second's rule. The CUP (political committee) arguably continued the massacres up until 1923. This is known as the Armenian Genocide or Armenian Question.

Why is the Armenian Massacre considered a genocide?
The Armenian Genocide is a genocide specifically because the Armenian people were targeted for elimination by Young Turk leaders like Enver Pasha. Even if the Turks' claims that there were Armenians conspiring with the Russians are taken at face value (unlike the farce that they are), there would be no point in executing Armenian Pro-Ottoman intellectuals and numerous women and children. These repeated killings of Pro-Ottoman Armenians and women and children demonstrate that the attempt was extermination, not the minimization of a wartime threat.
