Armenia has a very interesting history. For example it was the first country in the world to officially embrace Christianity as its religion in A.D.300. The independent Republic of Armenia was established on May 28, 1918. Sadly though the Soviet Army took over Armenia on November 29, 1920. On March 12, 1922 Armenia joined the USSR. In 1936 it broke apart from the USSR, but was conquered by Greeks, Romans, Persians, Byzantines, Mongols, Arabs, Ottoman Turks, and Russians. The Russian Empire also took over it in the 1700s. Gladly in 1918 the Armenians created an independent republic.
