Lesser Armenia (Armenian:Փոքր Հայք, Pokr Hayk;Latin:Armenia Minor), also known as Armenia Minor and Armenia Inferior, refers to the Armenian populated regions, primarily to the west and northwest of the ancient Kingdom of Armenia (also known as Kingdom of Greater Armenia). The region was later reorganized into the Armeniac Theme under the Byzantine Empire.
Geography
Lesser Armenia (or Armenia Minor) was the portion of historic Armenia and the Armenian Highlands lying west and northwest of the river Euphrates. It received its name to distinguish it from the much larger eastern portion of historic Armenia—Greater Armenia (or Armenia Major).
Initial history
Early history
Prior to 4th century BC, the territory of Lesser Armenia was part of the ancient Armenian Kingdom, which was ruled by the royal dynasty of Orontids (Yervanduni, Armenian:Երուանդունի) and, in the mid 6th century BC, was subject to the PersianAchaemenid Empire, becoming administrated through the Satrapy of Armenia.
Armenia is a unitary, multi-party, democratic nation-state with an ancient cultural heritage. The Kingdom of Van was established in 860 BC and by the 6th century BC it was replaced by the Satrapy of Armenia. In the 1st century BC the Kingdom of Armenia reached its height under Tigranes the Great. Armenia became the first state in the world to adopt Christianity as its official religion. In between the late 3rd century to early years of the 4th century, the state became "the first Christian nation." The official date of state adoption of Christianity was 301 AD. The ancient Armenian kingdom was split between the Byzantine and Sasanid empires around the early 5th century. Under the Bagratuni dynasty, the Armenian Kingdom was restored in the 9th century. Declining due to the wars against the Byzantines, the kingdom fell in 1045 and Armenia was soon after invaded by the Seljuk Turks. An Armenian principality and later a kingdom Cilician Armenia was located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea between the 11th and 14th centuries.
Armenia was a merchant vessel launched at Calcutta in 1796. Captain Thomas Meek (or Meik), was her only captain. In 1799 the East India Company (EIC) took her up. She made one trip to Britain for the EIC. On that trip she left St Helena on 6 July in the company of the East IndiamenTellicherry, Triton, and Barwell, and under escort by the 18-gun Cornwallis.Armenia arrived in Britain on 27 September.
Capture and postscript
The French privateer Clarisse captured Armenia on 5 July 1800 and sent her into Mauritius.Clarisse was armed with 16 guns and had a crew of 180 men under the command of Captain La Meme. Armenia encountered Clarisse at 7°30′S79°30′E / 7.500°S 79.500°E / -7.500; 79.500, and after a five-hour chase she caught up with Armenia and combat ensued. Captain Meik resisted, but after about 40 minutes of exchanging fire he stuck. Armenia had lost her Third Officer killed and six men wounded, one of whom died later; Clarisse appeared to have had three men killed. Another report has Clarisse's casualties as seven killed and 20 wounded.
The name Armenia enters English via Latin, from Ancient Greek Ἀρμενία.
The Armenian endonym for the Armenian people and country is hayer and hayk’, respectively. The exact etymology of the name is unknown, and there are various speculative attempts to connect it to older toponyms or ethnonyms.
Etymology
The earliest attestations of the exonymArmenia date around the 6th century BC. In his trilingual Behistun Inscription, Darius I the Great of Persia refers to Urashtu (in Babylonian) as Armina (in Old Persian) and Harminuya (in Elamite).
In Greek, Αρμένιοι "Armenians" is attested from about the same time, perhaps the earliest reference being a fragment attributed to Hecataeus of Miletus (476BC).Herodotus, in c. 440 BC, said "the Armenians were equipped like Phrygians, being Phrygian colonists" (7.73) (Ἀρμένιοι δὲ κατά περ Φρύγες ἐσεσάχατο, ἐόντες Φρυγῶν ἄποικοι.).
Xenophon describes many aspects of Armenian village life and hospitality. He relates that the people spoke a language that to his ear sounded like the language of the Persians.
What is the untold history of Armenia? One of the most downtrodden, yet at the same time, proud nations in the entirety of the post-Soviet/Southwest Asian/Eastern European sphere.
Today, we will discuss the history behind the Armenian nation, and how they have evolved in the past few thousand years, from one of the great superpowers of the ancient world, to the modestly-sized country we see today that still has quite an impressive international reach through it's culture and extensive diaspora.
Be sure to let me know your thoughts on the old Armenian Empire and the current state of affairs for the Armenian nation, and as always, thanks for watching!

Nagorno-Karabakh: Armenia vs. Azerbaijan explained
The Nagorno-Karabakh-conflict involving Armenia, the unrecognised Republic of Artsakh and Azerbaijan has been described as one of many frozen conflicts worldwide. However, the latest developments of 2020 have demonstrated that the ice seems to have melted. In truth, the conflict was heading into the direction of escalation since at least 2016, as the ongoing peace process has yielded little to no results.
This video is a simplified summary and analysis of what is going on in this conflict: How did the conflict about Karabakh start? What is it about? And which countries are involved? We are taking a look at the conflict's historic development since 1918, explore the value of Karabakh to the Armenian and Azerbaijani people and also touch upon the involvement of the most prominent regional ...
