Bu çalışmada Ermenilerin ABD'ye göç etmelerinin nedenini belirlemek, bu hareket sonucunda iki ülke arasında meydana gelen gelişmeleri ortaya çıkarmak ve Ermeni göçmenlerin yeni ülkelerinde Osmanlılar tarafından nasıl izlendiğini tartışmak amaçlanmıştır. Bu konu üzerindeki çalışmaların çoğu Ermeni tehciri dönemine odaklandığı için, bu makale tehcirden önce ABD'ye göç eden Ermenilerin sayıları hakkında bazı görüşler sunmaktadır.
