The Eastern Roman Empire, or the Byzantine Empire as it is often known, survived for nearly a thousand years after the fall of Rome in the West. Ruled from Constantinople (modern day Istanbul), the Byzantine Empire was a direct continuation of the later Roman Empire and lasted from the year 330 CE to 1453.
Massacres of Armenians were carried out in the late 1800s and early 1900s by the Ottoman government.
<h3>Armenian Genocide</h3>
- During World War I, the Ottoman Empire deliberately destroyed the Armenian people and their culture, which is known as the Armenian genocide.
- It was carried out chiefly through the forcible conversion of Armenian women and children to Islam, which was spearheaded by the ruling Committee of Union and Progress, and the massacre of about a million Armenians on death marches to the Syrian Desert.
- A string of military defeats and territory losses for the Ottoman Empire, especially the Balkan Wars of 1912–1913, instilled in CUP leaders a worry that the Armenians, whose country in the eastern provinces was seen as the heartland of the Turkish people, would seek independence.

Answer:
Globes and maps are equally accurate at showing the Earth's surface.
A major reason why the Soviet Union did actually create satellite states following World War II in Eastern Europe was because they wanted to create a buffer zone against future invasions (2).
The correct answer therefore is 2.
They did this because they actually thought that war with the West was possible. For that reason, having buffer states between themselves and between a possible Western invasion, would help them in their cause.
