Defense Of Van (1896)
The 1896 Defense of Van or Van Rebellion was a revolt by the Armenian population in Van against the armed forces of the Ottoman Empire in June 1896 during the Hamidian massacres. Background The Van region had avoided the earlier stages of the Hamidian massacres in 1895. However, by January 1896 there was increasing violence – a report by the British vice-consul in Van, W. H. Williams, said that many Armenian villages had been looted and "Armenians are everywhere in a state bordering on panic, afraid lest the spring will bring still further disasters". The Ottoman authorities eventually sent an expedition to attack the Armenian population of Van in June 1896.

After a week of fighting, the sultan sought assistance from the Western powers to end the violence, promising that he would guarantee the lives and safet ...
