Summary

Description
English: 'An Armenian view of the Baghdad Railway', circa 1915. The illustration shows Kaiser Wilhelm II promising military and political support to the Ottoman Empire in its persecutions of the Armenians, in return for Ottoman cooperation in the building of the Berlin-Baghdad Railway. The railway was funded and built by the German Empire to link Berlin with the Ottoman Empire city of Baghdad with a railway line passing through what are now Turkey, Syria and Iraq. The project was never fully completed and the line finally ran north from Basra, in modern-day Iraq, as far as Konya in modern Turkey.
Text states; "The Mightiest Military-King in Europe: "Abdul my beloved friend! let us ratify a pact. Give me my railway and keep all the massacres you want..."
