April 24 has marked some of the most significant and varied moments in global history. The most impactful event associated with April 24 is undoubtedly the beginning of the Armenian Genocide in 1915. On this day, the Ottoman Empire initiated a systematic campaign against its Armenian population, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians.
