When the Napoleonic Armies were defeated in the Waterloo Battle of 1815 in the first quarter of the 19th century, Great Britain, Austria, Russia and Prussia determined the world order after the 1815 Vienna Congress, under the leadership of Austrian Prime Minister Klemens von Metternich. Although it seemed like France to be prevented, there was the idea of expelling Turks from Europe behind the scenes. A few years later, the first separatist movements started in the Balkan lands of the Ottoman Empire, and nearly a century later, in the 1912-1913 Balkan Wars, Turks were thrown out of Europe in a bloody way except East of Thrace. Similar events took place in the first quarter of the 20th century. The target this time was again the Turks and they were asked to be expelled from Anatolia. A year after the Balkan War, World War I started in 1914, and the Ottoman Empire fell into danger in Anatolia beyond losing its land on 3 continents. The I. World War I offically ended for the Ottoman State, which was signed on 30 October 1918. Not only during the I. World War, but also before that the Ottoman State experienced great losses of life, property and land in the Balkans, the Middle East and the Caucasus.

Greece, which has no legal right over the existing territories of the Ottoman Empire and Izmir at that time to strike the Turkish Nation and expel them forever from the Anatolia with the support of England, and they wanted to achieve the Megali Idea goals they had pursued politically for many years.

Many local and foreign archives and periodical documents reveal the catastrophe.},author={Ergenekon SAVRUN},year={2020},journal={Turkish Studies - Historical Analysis}}
