- Abstract
The article examines the constraints and influences on the U.S. response to the Armenian question, which refers to the protection and freedoms of Armenians from the neighboring communities, during the Ottoman Empire in 1918-1920. It explores the legitimate basis for U.S. intervention in global affairs, including Armenia after the 1915 massacres, and considers both American and British responses to explain why the potential mandates are essential to their conceptions of international governance. It illustrates how the mandate antagonized relations between the two nations insted of uniting them in a common endeavor of international governance.
