Why the US did not enter?1. US trying to stay out of WWI2. Ambassadors are guests and should
have respect for their host nation.3. What a sovereign state does in its own
borders is their business.

Baron Von Wangenheim the German Ambassador
"The measures of repression by the Imperial Government [Young Turks] against
the Armenian population of the eastern Anatolian provinces having been dictated
by military considerations and constituting a legitimate means of defense, the German
Government is far from opposing their execution inasmuch as these measures
have objective of consolidating the internal security of Turkey and avoiding attempts at
insurrections."

Red Cross
By 1896, the Red Cross worked in the Ottoman Empire to provide aid for Armenians lead by Clara Barton. However,
Turkish government had informed the State Department at Washington that the Red Cross would not be permitted to send surgeons and nurses to the aid of the Armenian people.
Organization donated $ 1.800.000 for relief works in the Near East. Later this amount rose up to $ 6.000.000.
American Red Cross personnel kidnapped Armenian children were restored to their parents and women in Muslim harems were freed.
Problem: No Red Cross Army
