Summary
Chapter 2 offers a broader contextualization of the military and political conditions across the Near East, focusing in particular on the history of the mandate that never was, the mandate of the USA in Armenia and/or Turkey. The argument is that international humanitarians, no matter how powerful or resourceful they were, depended on political and military situations they did not control.
