| Abstract
|
:
|
Hundreds of thousands of Ottoman Armenians who survived the initial wave of deportations and massacres empire-wide arrived in Ottoman Syria beginning in May 1915. The assault on, and the humanitarian resistance waged by Armenians in this region during World War I provide insight into key aspects of the Armenian Genocide. My dissertation offers a reassessment of what is referred to as the “second phase” of the Armenian Genocide. It presents a multifaceted account of developments in Aleppo and across the network of concentration camps in Ras ul-Ain and along the banks of the Euphrates River from Meskeneh to Der Zor during the war. Drawing upon previously untapped primary sources—particularly the minutes, ledgers, and reports of the Refugee Council of the Armenian Apostolic Church in Aleppo—as well as fresh insights from others, I examine the interactions between the local, regional, and central authorities, and the humanitarian resistance waged by a network of Armenians aided by locals and western missionaries.
