Geography, the adoption of Christianity, the emergence of one of the oldest alphabets, the struggle of Armenian princes of the Bagratuni and Artzruni dynasties for faith and independence from the Turks, Arabs, the power of the Sassanids, the exploits of the Mamikonians… - Grousset attempted to detail the life of the Armenian people.
