I want to know the answer to the following question:
What prompted the state-sponsored slaughter of Armenians?
All the background I'm provided with is that "When they began pushing for more rights within the Ottoman Empire, Sultan ‘Abdu’l-Hamid II, in response, organized state-sponsored massacres against the Armenians between 1894 and 1896, resulting in an estimated death toll of 80,000 to 300,000 people.". Is that enough to answer the question?
