The historical record
In 1919 President Wilson appointed General James G. Harbord to lead a U.S. fact-finding mission to the region. The United States recognized the Republic of Armenia in April 1920. In November 1920, Wilson issued a boundary arbitration decision; the proposed settlement was not implemented. Explore the original archival records alongside the photographs.
