White genocide (Armenians)

Ok kiddo, so a long time ago in a place called Turkey, there were some people called Armenians. They looked a little different than most of the other people there, and they had their own special culture and way of doing things.

Unfortunately, some important people in Turkey decided that they didn't like the Armenians very much. They thought that the Armenians were a problem and didn't belong in Turkey, even though they had been there for a long time.

So these important people started doing some really mean things to the Armenians. They made them leave their homes and move to other places where they weren't welcome. They hurt and killed a lot of Armenians, even though they didn't do anything wrong.

This mean treatment went on for a while, and lots of Armenians had to leave Turkey and go live in other places. It was really sad, and a lot of people were hurt by it.

Some people call this "white genocide" because the Armenians who were hurt and killed had a different background and culture than the people who were hurting them. But it's important to remember that everyone should be treated with kindness and respect, no matter where they come from or what they look like.
