Early history[edit | edit source]
The first unified Armenian state formed in 190 BCE. The Roman Empire conquered Armenia in 55 BCE, and it later became a crucial part of the Byzantine Empire. After the fall of the Byzantine Empire, Persia and the Ottoman Empire fought over the region before partitioning it in 1639. The Russian Empire conquered the Persian part of Armenia in 1828. During the First World War, the Ottomans massacred 1.5 million Armenians, most of the population of Western Armenia.[1]

The Soviet government was forced to cede Armenia to Germany in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. After the German defeat, Armenian nationalists formed an independent government with support from Britain and France. Armenian leftists founded the Armenian SSR in November 1920, and the Red Army entered Armenia in December to fight off a Turkish invasion. Armenia joined the Soviet Union in 1922 as part of the Transcaucasian SFSR and became its own republic in 1936.[1]
