The Treatment of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire is a book written by the Viscount Bryce and Arnold J. Toynbee that contains a compilation of statements from eyewitnesses of Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland who witnessed the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire during 1915-1916.[1]

Demographics

The publication presents Arnold J. Toynbee's analysis of the population in the Ottoman Empire. The presented table and map show the re-calculated values of the stated provinces using values where Armenians were the majority of the population, according to Toynbee's estimates.

Criticism

The book has been criticized by some Turkish revisionists as British wartime propaganda to build up sentiment against the Central Powers.[2]

However, Bryce submitted the work to scholars for verification before its publication. University of Oxford Regius Professor Gilbert Murray stated of the tome, "...the evidence of these letters and reports will bear any scrutiny and overpower any skepticism. Their genuineness is established beyond question."[3] Other professors, including Herbert Fisher of Sheffield University and former American Bar Association president Moorfield Storey, affirmed the same conclusion.[4]
