Le diplomate, juriste et historien James Bryce (1838-1922) a été le plus grand avocat de la cause arménienne en Grande-Bretagne pendant plusieurs décennies. Cet article retrace un itinéraire militant depuis les années 1870, mettant l’accent sur le tournant constitué par les années 1894-1896, lors desquelles ses appels en faveur des Arméniens et d’une intervention auprès de la Sublime Porte remportèrent un grand écho, non seulement en Grande-Bretagne mais aussi aux États-Unis.
