Having established relations with the Ottoman Empire, at first, as an outcome of its interest-oriented policy in the Mediterranean Sea, USA then turned into a state structure, which was favoring Armenians in Anatolia, as an outcome of the policy it pursued thereafter, and aspired to achieve its self-seeking interests. While Armenian rebellions within Ottoman country escalated especially as of the year of 1890, USA aspired to take credit for the approaches and actions, being taken for suppressing these rebellions. Upon claiming that the acts being performed within Ottoman country were causing damages to its schools, USA, in the year 1900, dispatched one of its battleships, named “USS Kentucky”, to İstanbul under the captaincy of Admiral Colby M.
