Mehmed Talat was the interior minister who ordered the [[Armenian notables deported from the Ottoman capital in 1915|arrest of Armenian leaders]] with a [[s:Circular on April 24 1915|order on April 24, 1915]] and sent a request for the [[Tehcir Law]] on [[May 29]] [[1915]], which initiated large scale [[genocide]] of the Ottoman Armenians.
He is reported to have said "Kill every Armenian man, woman, and child without concern for anything" <ref>[http://www.house.gov/list/press/ny09_weiner/052104armenian.html Rep. Weiner Commemorates Armenian Genocide]</ref> a quote from the "[[The Memoirs of Naim Bey|Andonian Telegrams]]".


==Early life==
==Characters==
===Main Characters===
Mehmed Talat born in 1874 in [[Kardzhali|Kırcaali]] town of [[Edirne Province]] from a family of junior civil servant working for the Ottoman Empire. His father was from a village in the mountainous south-eastern corner of present day [[Bulgaria]]. He had powerful build and a dark complexion <ref name="mango67">{{cite book |last=Mango|first=Andrew|authorlink=Andrew Mango|title=Atatürk|publisher=John Murray |location=London|year=2004 |page=67 |isbn= 978-0719565922}}</ref>. His manners were bluff, which caused him to leave the civil preparatory school without a certificate after a conflict with his teacher. Without earning the degree, he joined the staff of the telegraph company as a postal clerk in [[Edirne]]. His salary was not high, so he worked after hours as a Turkish language teacher in the Alliance Israelite School which served the Jewish community of Edirne<ref name="mango67" />.
* '''Dan Kuso''': Dan is a 12 year old boy,who is a player of Bakugan. He loves to play it. Dan is in a group called the Bakugan Battle Brawlers.Dan loves loin tips. He is somewhat short-tempered. He and Shun are the creators of the Bakugan game. His Guardian Bakugan is the Pyrus-attribute Dragonoid (nicknamed Drago). Dan is crazy about Runo, but will never admit it, Until Dan and Runo go on a date. Dan's battle style usaly involves some kind of strategy.


* '''Runo Misaki''': At the age of 12, Runo is not your typical pre-teen girl. Runo is a tomboy through and through who loves playing Bakugan with people that have skills to show off. Like Dan, she has a short temper and gets angry when she loses a battle. Runo has a crush on Dan but she wouldn't admit it and is jealous of Julie taking Dan's attention.Runo also loves liver kabobs. At the end of the series, Runo is seen with Dan on a date going to the movies. In battle, she uses light attributes. Her Guardian Bakugan is the Haos-attribute Tigrerra, who is very obedient to her master and powerful in battle.Runo hates when people think that just because she is a girl, they can beat her.
At the age of 21 he had a love affair with the daughter of the Jewish headmaster he worked for. He was caught sending a telegram saying "Things are going well. I'll soon reach my goal." With two of his friends of the post office, he was charged with tampering with the official telegraph and arrested in 1893. He claimed that the message in question was to his girl-friend. The Jewish girl came forward to defend him. Sentenced to two years of jail, he was pardoned but exiled to Salonica as a postal clerk<ref name="mango67" />.


* '''Marucho Marokuro''': He is a wealthy, 11 year old who is generous. He is what you could call a walking encyclopidea. He is Dan's side kick and loves to play bakugan and work on stratagies. He used to be extremely obedient to his parents out of fear, but that changed when he met the Brawlers. He now has no regrets for the past, realizing that he only wanted to make his parents happy. His Guardian Bakugan are the Aquos-attribute Preyas and the Haos Angelo/Pyrus Diablo Preyas. Preyas was sent to the Doom Dimension in Marucho's battle with Klaus Von Hertzon. Later Klaus shows up with Preyus. Dan and Runo find a way to get Preyas back through defeating him in battle. Preyas evolves into a two-sided Bakugan called Preyas Angelo (Haos) and Preyas Diablo (Pyrus). Unlike the other Bakugan however, Preyas multiplies when he evolves, so Marucho got to keep the old Preyas.
Between 1898 and 1908 he served as a postman, on the staff of the Salonica Post Office. Eventually, having served 10 years at this postal unit, he became the Head of Salonica Post Office.


* '''Julie Makimoto''': She lives near Bakugan Valley. She's 12 years old and is in love with Dan of the Battle Brawlers and tries to stay happy even when the worst has happened (for example, when Billy ended up under the control of Masquerade), her acting happy after something terrible happened is generally just to cover up her real feelings. Julie can also forget things easily, proving that she is a little scatterbrained at times. She is always up and happy with a positive attitude. At the beginning of the series, she is shown to have a crush on Dan (which led to some arguments with a jealous Runo), but later, she likes Billy and accepts a date offer from him. Julie has a sister named Daisy who has bested her in everything since she was a child. Her Guardian Bakugan is Subterra-attribute Gorem.
==Young Turk Revolution==
In 1908, he was dismissed for membership in the [[Committee of Union and Progress]] (CUP), the conspiratorial nucleus of the Young Turk movement. After the Young Turk Revolution of 1908, however, he became deputy of Edirne in the Ottoman Parliament, and in July 1909, he was appointed Minister of Interior Affairs. He became Minister of Post and then the Secretary-General of the CUP in 1912.


* '''Shun Kazami''': He is a strong, silent, cool type 13-year-old. He is the former 1st ranked Bakugan player. He is a master of Bakugan, and also is Dan's childhood friend. Shun is a loner, a boy of very few words, yet is willing to help his friends at every turn. He approaches the game like a ninja. He lives with his grandfather (who used to be a famous ninja warrior) who once expected Shun to follow in his footsteps instead of playing Bakugan. His Guardian Bakugan is the Ventus-attribute Skyress whom Shun received from his comatose mother.
After the assassination of the Prime Minister [[Mahmud Sevket Pasa]] in July 1913, Talat Pasha once again became Minister of Interior Affairs. Talat, along with [[Enver Pasha]] and [[Ahmed Djemal|Djemal Pasha]] formed a group called ''the [[Three Pashas]]''. These men formed the triumvirate of the Ottoman government until the end of [[World War I|war]] in October, 1918.


* '''Alice Gehabich''': She is a 14-year-old-girl and, the princess of Bakugan from Moscow who doesn't play Bakugan. Michael Gehabich is her grandfather, but after learning that her grandfather became Hal-G and works with Naga, she constantly worried about him. Alice usually just gives advice to the brawlers, instead of battling. Alice and Marucho are the 2 brawlers who mostly use strategy. Although unlike Marucho, Alice gives her strategies to the brawlers. During season 2 she left the Brawlers after finding out that she was Masquerade out of intense guilt over what she did as him, but later returns in time to save Dan and Drago. Alice has a special ability to talk to people when she's not with them. Her Guardian Bakugan is the Darkus-attribute Hydranoid.
==The Armenian Genocide==
{{Armenian Genocide}}


* '''Masquerade''': He used to be the number one ranked Bakugan player in the world, before he left Alice's body. His goal is to send all Bakugan to the Doom Dimension (the most feared place by all Bakugan) with his Doom Card, so he may evolve his Hydranoid and have the Ultimate Bakugan. He is revealed to be Alice in episode 38 and 39. Masquerade came to be when negative energy changed Alice. Alice's Grandfather was also affected by the negative energy and he was changed into Hal-G. He battles with Dan in episode 38 and loses. Masquerade disappears from Alice's body.She is really Masquerade.
On April 24 1915, Talat issued an [[s:Circular on April 24 1915|order]] to close all Armenian political organisations operating within the Ottoman Empire and arrest Armenians connected to them, justifying the action by stating that the organisations were controlled from outside the empire, were inciting upheavals behind the Ottoman lines, and were cooperating with Russian forces. Thie order resulted in the arrest on the night of 24/25 April 1915 of between [[Armenian notables deported from the Ottoman capital in 1915|235 to 270 Armenian community leaders in Constantinople]], including politicians, clergymen, physicians, authors, journalists, lawyers, and teachers. Although mass killings of Armenian civilians had begun in the Van vilayet several weeks earlier, these mass-arrests in Constantinople are considered by many commentators to be the start of the Armenian Genocide.


* '''Joe Brown''': He is a 12-year-old boy also known as "Webmaster Joe" who created the Bakugan website. The Brawlers first thought that Joe was working with Masquerade, but it turns out that Joe sent a message to all of the Bakugan Brawlers in the chat room about Masquerade and becomes one of the Brawlers. He lives with his mother and soon moves to the Brawlers' neighborhood. Chan Lee seems to have a crush on Joe, whose feelings are revealed in the last episode. His Guardian Bakugan is Wavern, Naga's sister and guardian of the infinity core.
Talat also issued the order for the [[Tehcir Law]] of June 1 1915 to February 8 1916 that allowed for the mass-deportation of Armenians, which academics define as the vehicle of the [[Armenian Genocide]].<ref>{{cite news | title= PBS effort to bridge controversy creates more | author= Josh Belzman | publisher=[[MSNBC]] | url=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12397821/ | date=[[April 23]] [[2006]] | accessdate= 2006-10-05}}</ref>


* '''Hal-G''': The loyal servant of Naga. He used to be a famous scientist named Michael Gehabich, who mysteriously disappeared. He once studied Vestroia until an accident happened, and negative energy filled into his lab, causing him to turn into Hal-G. Alice went to his lab for a visit, and the negative energy turned her into Masquerade. Hal-G created a dimension transporter. His Guardian Bakugan is his boss Naga.
Talat, as minister of the interior, bears much of the responsibility for the deportation of the [[Armenians]] from the empire's eastern provinces to [[Syria]]. Most historians blame him for the barbarity of the operation and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Although Talat was the minister of the interior, many historians argue that Enver Pasha deserves equal blame for the extermination of the Armenians.<ref>David Fromkin "A Peace to End all Peace", pg 212-213</ref><ref>[http://www.geocities.com/enver1908/ The Story of Enver Pasha and his Times] Part 4: Armenians are nothing to me</ref>
He is reported to have said the following to Ambassador [[Henry Morgenthau, Sr.]] in [[Ambassador Morgenthau's Story]]<ref>[http://net.lib.byu.edu/estu/wwi/comment/morgenthau/Morgen25.htm Ambassador Morgenthau's Story. 1918. Chapter Twenty-Five<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

* '''Klaus Van Hertzon''': An Aquos attribute Bakugan player. He was the 2nd place Bakugan Brawler in the world when he and the other top Bakugan Brawlers were placed under the control of Masquerade. It is said that he is wealthier than Marucho since Klaus lives in a castle. Klaus sent Marucho's Preyas to the Doom Dimension, but Preyas somehow returns in Klaus' possession. Later when he, Chan-Lee, and Julio were defeated by Dan, Runo, and Marucho, he gave Marucho's Preyas back and moved down to 4th place after he was defeated by Masquerade. For most of the second season he does not feature until closer to the end when Alice stumbles across his castle where she confesses that she was Masquerade. Immediately, he challenges her to a battle at first for revenge but in the end to remind her why she was a Brawler in the first place. In episode 50, Joe asks him if he had a crush on Alice but he replies that unlike Joe, he is a true gentleman. His Guardian Bakugan is the Aquos-attribute Sirenoid.

{{Seealso|Turkish Courts-Martial of 1919-20}}
Following the [[occupation of Istanbul]] by the Allied Powers, the British exerted pressure on the Sublime Porte and brought to trial the Turkish leaders who had held positions of responsibility between 1914 and 1918, for having committed, among other charges, an 'Armenian Massacre, the ones who were caught were put under arrest at the Bekiraga division and subsequently exiled to Malta under the name of [[Malta exiles]]. The courts-martial were designed by Sultan [[Mehmed VI]] to punish the [[Committee of Union and Progress]] (CUP) for the Empire's ill-conceived involvement in World War I. The Pashas who had held the highest positions in the administration and whose names were at the top of the execution lists of the Armenian assassination teams could be condemned in absentia because they had gone abroad.


* '''Travis''': A nasty 12 year old Bakugan player that forced Christopher to battle him every day and always lost. When Christopher started being coached by Alice, he battled Travis again and lost. After that, Travis wasn't nasty to Christopher anymore and asked to battle again one day. Travis battles with Darkus attributed Bakugan. His Guardian Bakugan is most likely Warrius.
By January 1919, a report to Sultan Mehmed VI accused over 130 suspects, most of whom were high officials, including Talat. The courts announced that "In accordance with the stipulations of the Law the death penalty against Talat, Enver, Cemal, and Dr. Nazim".


* '''Jenny and Jewels''': They are two pop stars who use Subterra and Aquos Bakugan. They are also Marucho's idols going by the name JJ Dolls when he is with them.
However, the British were determined not to leave Talat alone. The British had intelligence reports indicating that he had gone to Germany, and the British High Commissioner pressured Damad Ferit Pasha and the Sublime Porte to demand from Germany to return to Ottoman Empire. As a result of efforts pursued personally by (Sir) Andrew Ryan, a former Dragoman and now a member of the British intelligence service, Germany responded to Ottoman Empire stating that it was willing to be helpful if official papers could be produced showing these persons had been found guilty, and added that the presence of these persons in Germany could not as yet be ascertained<ref>Oke, Mim Kemal: The Armenian question 1914-1923. Nicosia: Oxford 1988 http://www.ataa.org/ataa/ref/armenian/oke.html</ref>.

==The Different Types Of Bakugan==
These meetings corroborated earlier intelligence to the effect that Talat Pasha was seeking support from Muslim countries to form a serious opposition movement against the Allied Powers, and that he was soon intending to take refuge in Ankara, which [[Turkish national movement]] was forming. Furthermore, Talat Pasha also dared to make the threat that he was going to incite the [[Pan-Turkism| Pan-Turanist]] and [[Pan-Islamism| Pan-Islamist]] movements against England, unless she signed a peace treaty favorable for Turkey.
This is a list of Bakugan that appear in the game. The Bakugans with the bold are currently available at stores, italic ones are of unconfirmed release. Each of the known Bakugan has their own Ability Card.

Before the assassination, the British intelligence services identified Talat in Stockholm where he had gone for a few days.

Another view in the British intelligence was that Talat should be apprehended by the British navy in the sea while returning from Scandinavia by ship. At the end, it was decided to let him return to Berlin, find out what he was trying to accomplish with his activities abroad, and to establish direct contact with him before giving the final verdict<ref name="Britishrole">{{cite book

Characters

Main Characters

  • Dan Kuso: Dan is a 12 year old boy,who is a player of Bakugan. He loves to play it. Dan is in a group called the Bakugan Battle Brawlers.Dan loves loin tips. He is somewhat short-tempered. He and Shun are the creators of the Bakugan game. His Guardian Bakugan is the Pyrus-attribute Dragonoid (nicknamed Drago). Dan is crazy about Runo, but will never admit it, Until Dan and Runo go on a date. Dan's battle style usaly involves some kind of strategy.
  • Runo Misaki: At the age of 12, Runo is not your typical pre-teen girl. Runo is a tomboy through and through who loves playing Bakugan with people that have skills to show off. Like Dan, she has a short temper and gets angry when she loses a battle. Runo has a crush on Dan but she wouldn't admit it and is jealous of Julie taking Dan's attention.Runo also loves liver kabobs. At the end of the series, Runo is seen with Dan on a date going to the movies. In battle, she uses light attributes. Her Guardian Bakugan is the Haos-attribute Tigrerra, who is very obedient to her master and powerful in battle.Runo hates when people think that just because she is a girl, they can beat her.
  • Marucho Marokuro: He is a wealthy, 11 year old who is generous. He is what you could call a walking encyclopidea. He is Dan's side kick and loves to play bakugan and work on stratagies. He used to be extremely obedient to his parents out of fear, but that changed when he met the Brawlers. He now has no regrets for the past, realizing that he only wanted to make his parents happy. His Guardian Bakugan are the Aquos-attribute Preyas and the Haos Angelo/Pyrus Diablo Preyas. Preyas was sent to the Doom Dimension in Marucho's battle with Klaus Von Hertzon. Later Klaus shows up with Preyus. Dan and Runo find a way to get Preyas back through defeating him in battle. Preyas evolves into a two-sided Bakugan called Preyas Angelo (Haos) and Preyas Diablo (Pyrus). Unlike the other Bakugan however, Preyas multiplies when he evolves, so Marucho got to keep the old Preyas.
  • Julie Makimoto: She lives near Bakugan Valley. She's 12 years old and is in love with Dan of the Battle Brawlers and tries to stay happy even when the worst has happened (for example, when Billy ended up under the control of Masquerade), her acting happy after something terrible happened is generally just to cover up her real feelings. Julie can also forget things easily, proving that she is a little scatterbrained at times. She is always up and happy with a positive attitude. At the beginning of the series, she is shown to have a crush on Dan (which led to some arguments with a jealous Runo), but later, she likes Billy and accepts a date offer from him. Julie has a sister named Daisy who has bested her in everything since she was a child. Her Guardian Bakugan is Subterra-attribute Gorem.
  • Shun Kazami: He is a strong, silent, cool type 13-year-old. He is the former 1st ranked Bakugan player. He is a master of Bakugan, and also is Dan's childhood friend. Shun is a loner, a boy of very few words, yet is willing to help his friends at every turn. He approaches the game like a ninja. He lives with his grandfather (who used to be a famous ninja warrior) who once expected Shun to follow in his footsteps instead of playing Bakugan. His Guardian Bakugan is the Ventus-attribute Skyress whom Shun received from his comatose mother.
  • Alice Gehabich: She is a 14-year-old-girl and, the princess of Bakugan from Moscow who doesn't play Bakugan. Michael Gehabich is her grandfather, but after learning that her grandfather became Hal-G and works with Naga, she constantly worried about him. Alice usually just gives advice to the brawlers, instead of battling. Alice and Marucho are the 2 brawlers who mostly use strategy. Although unlike Marucho, Alice gives her strategies to the brawlers. During season 2 she left the Brawlers after finding out that she was Masquerade out of intense guilt over what she did as him, but later returns in time to save Dan and Drago. Alice has a special ability to talk to people when she's not with them. Her Guardian Bakugan is the Darkus-attribute Hydranoid.
  • Masquerade: He used to be the number one ranked Bakugan player in the world, before he left Alice's body. His goal is to send all Bakugan to the Doom Dimension (the most feared place by all Bakugan) with his Doom Card, so he may evolve his Hydranoid and have the Ultimate Bakugan. He is revealed to be Alice in episode 38 and 39. Masquerade came to be when negative energy changed Alice. Alice's Grandfather was also affected by the negative energy and he was changed into Hal-G. He battles with Dan in episode 38 and loses. Masquerade disappears from Alice's body.She is really Masquerade.
  • Joe Brown: He is a 12-year-old boy also known as "Webmaster Joe" who created the Bakugan website. The Brawlers first thought that Joe was working with Masquerade, but it turns out that Joe sent a message to all of the Bakugan Brawlers in the chat room about Masquerade and becomes one of the Brawlers. He lives with his mother and soon moves to the Brawlers' neighborhood. Chan Lee seems to have a crush on Joe, whose feelings are revealed in the last episode. His Guardian Bakugan is Wavern, Naga's sister and guardian of the infinity core.
  • Hal-G: The loyal servant of Naga. He used to be a famous scientist named Michael Gehabich, who mysteriously disappeared. He once studied Vestroia until an accident happened, and negative energy filled into his lab, causing him to turn into Hal-G. Alice went to his lab for a visit, and the negative energy turned her into Masquerade. Hal-G created a dimension transporter. His Guardian Bakugan is his boss Naga.

Later when he, Chan-Lee, and Julio were defeated by Dan, Runo, and Marucho, he gave Marucho's Preyas back and moved down to 4th place after he was defeated by Masquerade. For most of the second season he does not feature until closer to the end when Alice stumbles across his castle where she confesses that she was Masquerade. Immediately, he challenges her to a battle at first for revenge but in the end to remind her why she was a Brawler in the first place. In episode 50, Joe asks him if he had a crush on Alice but he replies that unlike Joe, he is a true gentleman. His Guardian Bakugan is the Aquos-attribute Sirenoid.
