Drawing on the letters and public statements of American missionaries, Armenian immigrants, and liberal reformers, it shows how these three groups shaped American public opinion about a distant political crisis, and highlights the religious and nationalist agendas that inspired--but also threatened to undermine--a wide-ranging international relief effort in the Ottoman Empire. The article also looks to Congress in order to discover how efforts to rescue &quot;suffering Armenians&quot; lent legitimacy to other American diplomatic interventions of the same period.</style></abstract><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">27</style></section></record></records></xml>
