In August 1919, fifty-three American service members left behind the war-torn Western Front and embarked on an investigative mission to former Ottoman territory where, on orders from President Wilson, they were to assess the potential cost of committing United States' resources to restore governance in Anatolia. As they ventured deep into the interior, the American Military Mission to Armenia encountered Turks, Armenians, Kurds, and others, all vying for legitimacy amid lingering devastation and uncertainty. By recovering the mission's records, my goal is to correct homogenous characterizations of the region by introducing people who interacted with the mission members. In each town and with each group, we see local needs and desires, unsung narratives different from existing versions of history that survived this tumultuous period. Though the United States Congress eventually voted against intervention and Allied interest in Anatolia waned as the Turkish Nationalists seized power, I have found alternative courses that local groups longed for. In 1919, people in the Ottoman space believed that American mission members could help them as they competed for power, sought external recognition of their trials, and simply struggled to survive. These stories have persisted for over a century and continue to elicit intense emotion among local groups. This fleeting opportunity to shape the future of Eastern Anatolia and Transcaucasia in the interwar space of 1919 has been captured by the mission's records. My project focuses on understanding local voices and the divergent paths they imagined, perspectives that cannot be ignored during similar moments when destiny is at stake.
