Greeks had lived in Asia Minor for over two thousand years, but that history came to a bloody end thanks to the genocide committed against them by the Ottoman and Turkish governments.
Alongside the Armenians and Assyrians, the Greeks of the Ottoman Empire faced a wave of deportation, dehumanization, and destruction during and after the First World War which are remembered as some of the bloodiest genocides of the 20th century.
Today on A Day In History, we look at how the Greek population of modern-day Turkey was all but exterminated. This is the third part of our series looking at Ottoman genocides, so check out our earlier videos on the Armenian and Assyrian genocides to see a full picture of the unspeakable crimes committed in the last days of the Ottoman Empire.
Sparks of a Genocide
The Greek, Armenian, and Assyrian Genocides were similar in many ways, but the defining feature of their victims was obvious: Christianity. These three minorities represented the vast majority of Christians who lived under the Muslim Ottoman Empire.
Political events also put the empire’s Greeks in a vulnerable position. Greece has secured independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1823. It was a deep wound to Ottoman pride, made even worse by the continual decay of Ottoman power ever since. As resentment against the new Greek nation simmered, it filtered down and fell upon the Greek minority too.
The sparks of genocide began smouldering as early as 1908 with the Young Turk revolution. The Young Turks were a hyper-nationalist faction who believed in an ethnically Turkish Muslim Empire. Their policy of ‘Turkification’ left no room for non-Turks or non-Muslims and soon every ethnic minority in the empire was in their crosshairs.
In these last years of Ottoman power in Europe, Ottoman authorities harassed ethnic Greeks to encourage them to relocate to Greece itself. Episodes of violence broke out in areas like Thessaloniki and Macedonia, where ethnic Greek leaders were known to disappear, or where the bodies of Greek farmers would be found in the wilderness, left behind by Ottoman authorities, but such violence was intermittent and not yet systemic.

My granma was one of the victims, she escaped Turkey in 1922 with thousands of other Greeks. She had lots of memories and lots of stories to tell, but one thing that stuck with me is that despite what happened to her, she never said a bad word about her Turkish neighbours, the people she grew up and lived with in Smyrna. Never, she only talked about the good memories that she carried to her grave. And so I grew up without hatred in my heart.
well, I live in izmir. please dont forget to mention the greek occupation and torture of turks for years. After liberation, along with the occupying army who left many destroyed villages and people burned alive, those collaborators had too many reason to flee izmir. As they say, karma.

This video is not a Greek production. Better search your history better and leave the others. And do not support the Bulgarians now, because it was the ottomans that got their freedom amd had them in slavery and death for 400-500 years, it was not the Greeks.
@@bssmed7720the ottomans had the Bulgarians in death and slavery for 500 years, not the Greeks. So dont try to support the bulgarians to blame the Greeks.... We all know the history of he ottomams. Hypocrisy has a limit.
@@bssmed7720 Supporting the Bulgarians and blaming the Greeks, when you have enslaved both of them for 400 years it is rediculous. Look, we Greeks do not blame the turks for the genocide actions of the ottomans, as far as they do not agree or hide them. But trying to hide everything and tell that all the others are liers when there is so much evidence, just shows that you agree with those actions. Think that your history is maybe not so good as you have been taught. Why noone talk about genocides committed by the Greeks,the italians, the Egyptians, the Spanish or the Bulgarians,but many talk about genocides committed by the ottomans??? There is some evidence. It is better to respect then. This is video is not produced by a greek person or a Greek team.....
There has been a LOT of effort and resources for these events not to face publicity. Thank you for bringing this up.
Maybe you should also make a Video on all the atrocities the Greeks done to The Turks aswell
@@user-sd5ib9cg1l thats literally as if saying "maybe you should also makea video on all the atrocities the jews done to the germans aswell" your literally coping the fact that now everyone knows the horrors your terrorist government tries to hide
these are simplified versions
Turkey never paid for the genocides of Greeks, Armenians, and Assyrians. The fact that Turkey strongly denies those genocides beside the evidences, reveals how criminal this state/nation is and how easily they will do it again if they think that they must to
As a Turk, I absolutely reject this genocide. But let's say there was genocide, as you said. How much will he pay? To pay for the past, Germany is currently fawning over Jews and turning a blind eye to crimes against humanity. Would you like something like this? So who will be held accountable for the Khojaly massacre, and who will be held accountable for the Turkish families whose villages were set on fire when we lost the war?
This genocide totaly happened and for starters you can stop genociding the Kurds and allow them to have their own country @@sadeceevaa_
Stones shouldn't be thrown in glass houses. Look how easily the US government commits atrocities these days, like organising the genocide of the Ukrainians, but nobody is in any rush to force them to pay for this. I agree that the Turks would be better to admit to these genocides, but I reject the notion of some kind of payment for it. It is lunacy to financially destroy a country for it's crimes. How did WWII start? Besides which, if you start that as a trend, then everybody will be paying everybody else until the end of time, and the world will be financially crippled, a situation that will hurt everybody. And, besides, what kind of a payment is going to nullify all the pain and suffering of the Greeks, Armenians and Assyrians? The very notion is completely absurd.
@sadeceevaa_ What does "I reject the genocide" even mean? Nobody asked you. It's a fact.
Cease your indoctrinated regurgitation@@sadeceevaa_
The truth is the truth. This is not up to debate.
The Turks commmited alot of genocides and still today admit to none, its incredible!

Turkey makes me sick!They complain about Israel,and they never apologized to the Armenian people!Shame on them!
I'm not here to judge nor demoralize your sorrow but dont you think it would be too one sided to think only Turkey was bad guy? I mean Greece did the same thing to Turkish people who were in Greece at that time but only Turkey did get blamed.
Do you not think, that after the ottomans genocide of the Greeks, Assyrians and Armenians, in the hundreds of thousands, that the Greeks might have been a tad justified in reacting to it? @@sahinyasar9119

Turkey specializes in ethnic cleansing. They did it in Cyprus just 50 years ago and they are still there eyeing the remainder of the island.

The League of Nations made a big mistake not returning all Greek lands to Greece once it became independent again after the fall of the Ottoman Empire.
During this same period, the Turks also killed 450,000 Yazidis. Plus 1.5 million Armenians, 1 million Greeks, 750,000 Assyrians
That's why I am voting for the AfD, I don't trust that this couldn't happen again if the tables are turned here in Germany, it is always better to be the majority and dangerous to be a minority. Only traitorous politicians would ever let a foreign people with a different culture, a foreign people too distinct or a foreign people with a regrettable past (in either direction) with the host nation overwhelm the historical natives. This is historically and always will be a recipe for disaster.

Timely. As the granddaughter of a refugee, also harrowing stories but that where they lived was "paradise" (Antalya) and they thought 100% they were going to return. They said Greeks were the wealthier merchant class. Refugees weren't treated well when they arrived in Greece either, looked down on to this day, 100 years later - illustrative for other instances. Thanks for posting and the reminder that it was also considered the worst genocide up until that time - and modelled apparently by a certain Axis leader in the 2nd world war.

My grandmother's family was from Saranda Ekklesies (now Kirklareli). Her father was forced into a labor battalion and sent into Anatolia. He managed to escape and make his way back to them, only to die from injuries and illness a few days after he returned. Het mother and sisters were then deported, and resettled in Chrysoupolis.
Imagine in such an environment how many non Turkish families would turn into Islam. Only reason being survival. Now project that to the current Turkish population…..
Funny note. In an interview back in 2011 or so, the president of Turkey was asked whether his family was of non Turkish origin or not, a claim made by the opposition back then. In his reply, he never denied it. He rather focused on what makes a Turk, Turkish.According to him, it's more or less the religion.
If all these fine people here had any sense what so ever they would come to conclusion that people assimilating under those conditions makes more sense than all those people getting genocided by handful of "Turkish irregulars". It makes more sense if they actually take a walk in coastal cities or thrace and see the people in Turkey, then compare them with people they see in greece. Looks like these idiots dont even know what a supra-identity is
Modern turks are a mixture of Greeks Armenians assyrians and central Asians. Ottomans were mixed with the native populations and ottomanized them by force. They even got small kids from the native populations in order to make their ottoman army greater.
Their ancestors wheep dearly in their graves. Asian invaders with a foreign religion created a suedo race. Its a horror story when you think about it. Islam has been a plague upon history for so long.

I am Turkish. No one should lift themselves up. While Greece was trying to gain independence in 1821, it killed all the Turks in the Peloponnese. In fact, American author Justin McCharty wrote the book Death and Exile about this. While the Greeks occupied Izmir in 1919, they again killed many Turkish civilians. The report written by American General Mark Lambert Bristol confirms this. So stop causing pity.

Islam is a scourge. Always has been. Its not an opinion either, its a fact.
Spanish reconquista and massacre of Muslims , Christians massacre of jews , Non Christians massacre in Phillipines , European massacre of blacks , french massacre of Algerian muslims , itaalys massacre of Libya , yes what about that .
But ask any muslim in a Christian/western country what their treatment is..

Heh.. I guess that’s the collective unconscious of people who submit to god rather than live with him harmoniously.
it’s crazy how they are so proud of the Reconquista, and the crusades.and the “reclaiming” of their land from the muslims. but when same thing happens to them it is not a good day in their history…. smh. let’s be for real before muslims came around christian , Catholic and Orthodox were killing each other to.

Turkey and it's people can not be forgiven for their genocides of the Greeks, Assyrians and the Armenians. Not only do they fiercely deny those Genocides, they still threaten Armenian and Greek territory to this day. You might try to argue that the people aren't to blame or they're being brainwashed, but the majority of the Turkish population flat out denies the Genocides and actively tries to undermine them with false information you can find all over social media and reddit. They have access to information but try to spread misinformation about it and just pretend it doesn't exist - that's not something someone who doesn't know what they are doing will actively do. The Turks still occupy Constantinople and Smyrna, territory that has been in the Hands of the Greek for 2000 years, it rightly belongs to Greece and it can't just be waved away just because of a measly 100 years of current History. There will be a time where Turkey and it's people will answer for their crimes, maybe not in this lifetime, maybe not in a few lifetimes - but it will eventually come.
It's just that both nations consider every lost war in their histories as genocide keep coping over your skill issues

The rest of the world doesn't 'both sides' this issue buddy, the genocides of the Greeks, Assyrians, and Armenians are recognized and would be more recognized if the Turks didn't try to block every instance of it. The Turks so called 'Genocide of their people' is not recognized by anybody outside of Turkey, not to mention there's no evidence of it, so too bad buddy.

Look at Germany, they were also put into a form of slavery after ww2 would you have preferred the Russians to kill every single German after the war every man woman and child like the Turks did?
Did Rome genocide the greeks after they conquered them? i can give you plenty examples

Where Are u from
The population exchange agreement was advocated and negotiated by Norwegian polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen. There is an account of this in chapter 74 of “Nansen” by Roland Huntford.
Article One of the Convention of Lausanne said,
“As from 1 May 1923, there shall take place a compulsory exchange of Turkish nationals of the Greek Orthodox religion established in Turkish territory, and of Greek nationals of the Moslem religion established in Greek territory.
These persons shall not return to live in Turkey or Greece respectively without the authorisation of the Turkish government or of the Greek government respectively.
It is extremely weird that while Turks are officialy denying the commitement of genocides, most of the Turks not only acknowledge this but they also speak proudly of the genocide
More terrible than holocaust in German
Also, congratulations fir the accuracy if your narration, concerning the chronological evolution of what happened and how it happened, depending on time and area.🙏🏻
I'm not good on 20thc history, & I only knew about the Armenian genocide, not the Greek or Assyrian ones- I'm off to watch the other 2 videos. It's a bit sad that so many comments are just whataboutism: the fact that other genocides happened doesn't somehow make this one ok. My own country committed one against the Aboriginal people; I'll never deny that, but this video is about what Greek people suffered, so maybe we could focus on that, & have some empathy for them.
What you ask is too much of common sense for the Turkish internet warriors and spammers to comprehend!!! Unfortunately such are these people that we as well as any nation(Armenians, Syrians etc) unfortunate enough to be neighbours with them have to deal with. Btw: there have been no ''genocides'' against Turks as these whataboutists claim. What these people do is to confuse the difference between massacre and war causalities with GENOCIDE(that is intentional state-orchestrated targetting of speccific ethnic groups with the purpose of extinguishing them). It's like talking about the holocaust and some German nazi apologists coming up and saying ''but what about this Jewish resistance organisation that massacred that German village at that time. Genocide''.
@@jimakisspd Yeah, I can’t imagine how much that would hurt: not only knowing your ancestors suffered that, but having people deny it. I have no sympathy for the deniers though, since I’m perfectly willing to admit my own country has done loads of awful things, including genocide, & I’ve literally benefited from it: most of my ancestors were poor af in Europe, like in the workhouse or starving in the Irish Famine, & they came here & got richer on stolen land, & now we’re middle-class. The 50% who were convicts got sent here against their will, an overly harsh punishment for petty theft, but they still benefited in some ways, & their descendants definitely did. And I certainly wouldn’t blame any Aboriginal people for fighting back- that’s disgusting that they claim Greeks etc fighting back was “genocide”. I feel bad that I didn’t know about this genocide since I have some lovely Greek relatives in Greece; my Dad’s cousin married a Greek guy. Sympathies to your people, & shame on the deniers.
@@beth7935 Actually though indeed most of them deny it, many of them(since they can't fight against facts and such overwhelming evidence by hiding for long) do admit what they did but they go as far as to say that the victims ''deserved it for siding with the enemy and thus betraying the Ottoman empire''. Unbelievable but true, I have seen many Turks saying that the Anatolian Greeks and Armenians ''got what they deserved cause during Russo-turkish war they tried to help Russians and later on the Greek army that arrived in Smyrna and thus betrayed the Ottoman empire''. LOL as if these people owed some loyalty towards their enslavers. At least these ones are useful, for they admit the genocide and show the world their true faces.
It's totally admirable and very manly of you to accept the dark side of your nation's history(probably you are australian?), it's not an easy thing what you did. Yet It always amazed me since my teen years, how is it possible that all western nations admit their genocides openly and never deny it(and if they do they face accusations of acting inhumanely) but when it came to Turkey that we were all taught and I even got to know some old people from these lands that have been victims and suffered these events in their childhoods(they were still alive 20 years ago when I was a kid) and thus we all know what Turkey did, how come they could so openly deny it?? Not only they do not show the slightest sign of regret for it, not only they blameshift but also CONTINOUOUSLY act the same way for another century, violating treaties, international laws, invading our lands again(Constantinople pogrom 1955, Imbrus, Tenedos, Cyprus 1974) with the world not only doing the blind eye to them but also supporting them even in military expeditions(like in Syria or when they support azerbaijan against armenia) and selling them weapons. Growing up this had an impact ot me and contributed to giving me a realistic perception of how the world actually works.
Best regards to your dad and your his leventi cousin and blessings to your family mate. This world would be a much better place with people like you!!!

I am a Muslim (not a Turk) and I love Greece. I heard a lot about this genocide and just like the Armenian and Assyrian genocides, it angers me how it is disguised as religious cleansing. Nobody deserved that.
Ιt wasn't actually religious cleansing religion was mostly used as a way to distinguish ethnicities. It was genocide for ethnic cleansing by the young Turks, who were secular nationalists backed by Germany!! The Germans teached that tactic to them.
thank you brother for you love to my homeland ....
Thank you friend that you love my nation!
Just stop it..will you! 🙄
You are a liar. You are not a muslim.
Not to mention the various pogroms the Turks committed, one as reeently as 1955 organised and carried out by the Turkish state itself:
''... 71 churches, 41 schools, eight newspapers, more than 4,000 stores and 2,000 residences were looted or destroyed overnight. The human toll and suffering were even more catastrophic, with more than 30 dead, 300 injured and 400 raped ... The 1955 pogrom was not a clash of civilizations pitting Muslims against Christians. On the contrary ... the riots were carefully planned by the Turkish government to cleanse Istanbul of the approximately 100,000 Polites [Greek residents of the city] ...'' The terror of violence succeeded, today only 2, 000 to 3, 000 Greeks are left in the city.
- ''The Turkish Kristallnacht'' by Aykan Erdemir (a former member of the Turkish parliament, taught at Bilkent University and Middle East Technical University, both in Ankara.)
PS. A similar video was taken down by RUclips not too long ago. Hope this stays up. The Turkish state is very good at censoring any mention of its past crimes.
Exactly
Stupid, 12 people died in the 1955 pogrom you call...
Love your work man, makes me sad but still love it.
History is a biatch, at least the parcial, false or deceiving tale we were told, taking a big picture to try to understand the Nazi genocide upon Jews, Gypsies and more, we can see that this one was biggest of them and the most known but this wasn't a surprise if you can establish a history line.
Most of the world keep in silence and looking away on any of those genocides that end up on the worst one but what we could expect about them. Slavery was still on the go at those times and... silence.

The thing is that nobody or no country worry about them if their economy, land or politics seem to be endangered... Sad, really sad.

And the catholic evangelists had many to do with that.
You made me remember that even in America time before Columbus, there were several genocides too between the original people.

You probably don't know much: Greeks, Armenians, Arabs fought against the Turks, the Ottoman Caliphate, Islamic Shariaists and their supporters were supporters of the states that occupied Turkish lands. The Ottomans formed an alliance with the Nazis and sided with the British, Greeks, Armenians and Arabs. The Turks who fought against occupation and massacre in their lands were secular Turks led by Ataturk. The Ottoman government, the British and the Greeks repeatedly tried to kill these Turks. Ataturk did not want the Ottoman Empire to make an alliance with Germany. Ataturk predicted that Germany would lose the war. He didn't think Hitler was a smart leader. Even after the Ottoman Empire collapsed and the Republic of Turkey was established, Atatürk and Hitler were not on good terms because of the Jews living in Turkey who were kidnapped with Turkish passports, but Germany needed Turkey. Before his death, he warned the Turks not to believe Germany's deceptions about Turkey and not to enter the war on Germany's side. In other words, the Nazis and the Turks had nothing to do with each other, it was the Ottoman government that made an alliance with the Nazis, and in the war the Ottoman government sided with the British, Greeks, Armenians and Arabs.

FACT! The ancient name of Turkey is Anatolia, which comes from the Greek words "anatole" meaning "east" or "sunrise" and "ia" meaning "land of." Anatolia is a region located in western Asia, which encompasses most of the modern-day country of Turkey.
Fun fact: Anatolia is english. Turks call it Anadolu which means something like motherlands
So? Who cares if you named this land, we call here "Turkiye" :)
@Potassium1402 Where do you think the English got the word from ?
@@Potassium1402 Let me educate you!
From Medieval Latin Anatolia, from Ancient Greek ἀνατολή (anatolḗ, “sunrise, place from where the sun rises, the east”), from ἀνατέλλω (anatéllō, “I rise”), from ἀνά (aná, “up”) + τέλλω (téllō, “I perform, accomplish, rise”), because Anatolia was east of Greece.
I worked in Armenia where similar genocide was carried out before first world war. When your going for a shit in Armenia you call it a Turk
same here in Greece, we have the regular toilets but in some places like military and schools we have the so called Turks toilet (the hole ones) in order to avoid diseases from touching the toilet.
"Ala Turka toilet" or "Turkish toilet" refers to the traditional Turkish toilet. This type of toilet is a floor-level squat toilet that allows the person to squat while using it. On the other hand, "Alafranga toilet" is the Western-style toilet, which involves sitting rather than squatting.
Turks associate these toilet types with different cultural and hygienic preferences. The term "Ala Turka" is an expression used to denote traditional Turkish culture and is thus used to describe the traditional Turkish toilet. "Alafranga," on the other hand, is a term used to signify Western culture and is used to describe the Western-style toilet.
The reason Turks use these terms is to emphasize and define the cultural and hygienic differences between the two types of toilets.@@libre1245

My grandfather fought in ww1, he spoke about the people he fought alongside and against, he thought the germans were decent people even though they were the enemy, he thought the French were treacherous one minute and kindness personified the next, and the turks were spoken about with an almost biblical hatred, he was a highlander and spoke gaelic and it was as if he were speaking a biblical curse on them, it's hard to explain the way he spoke about them, but it seems he spoke from experience

"An estimate of the Pontian Greek death toll at all stages of the anti-Christian genocide is about 350,000; for all the Greeks of the Ottoman realm taken together, the toll surely exceeded half a million, and may approach the 900,000 killed that a team of us researchers found in the early postwar period. Most surviving Greeks were expelled to Greece as part of the tumultuous 'population exchanges' that set the seal on a heavily 'Turkified' state."

The persecution of Greeks continued through 50s and 60s where the greek population of Constantinople Imvros and Tenedos was reduced from abt 300000 to abt 1500 people !! Nations that dont accept their crimes surely they will commit them again !!
Exactly
There weren't places named Constantinople, Imvros or Tenedos in 50's and 60's you swimmer!
@@pyrusheliosmk2204 call them whatever you like !! I will call them with the name that they were called for thousand of years !!
@@pyrusheliosmk2204Even Istanbul is a greek name.
@@hebanker3372 then it shouldn't be a problem for you to use the current name!
What happened to the non Greek population in Greece at the time? Can you make a video about the Greek genocide too?
Make a video about something totally fabricated by Turkish propaganda with zero evidence or backup about it?? I think he has more serious subjects to occupy himself with!!!
What Greek genocide? What massacres did the Greeks perpetrate besides Tripolitsa?
@@hebanker3372What happened to the Mora Turks?
Israel funded it, don't take it seriously
Delusional
I haven't seen a single one Turk from Turkey actually looking like a real Turk from Central Asia, they are genetically European and just culturally "Turks"
Turkic migrations into Anatolia are well documented just because they paternally dominated the local populace doesn't mean they stopped being Turks, cope
@@nenenindonu youa are à greek
Turks are turkified Europeans
Again, show me a single one Turk, go around any street in any city of Turkey, show me just one who looks like a Central-Asia Turk, it taked just 1 Sultan (Osman I) to start marrying Greeks, Caucasians or other Balkan girls and mixing, even the sultans in portraits don't look like Turks. @@nenenindonu
they mixed race with Jenisaries
My family comes from the greek towns that the turks destroyed and slaughtered
We are so sowwy 😮💨
Important subject and video.
Be in no doubt that this is not only history but also the present day mentality and attitude of majority of turks. Without international law and media the turks would probably continue do this in many areas in modern day Turkey. They are actually doing it against the kurds right now. One example is their occupation of the Syrian Kurdish city of Efrin where kurds are expelled and they are replaced by arabs to change the demographics of the town. Not to talk about the countless oppression and massacres against the kurds in the east.
Hate, oppression and aggression is the only thing that keeps turks and Turkey together.
Sen bir yalancısın söylediklerinin hepsi yalan, afrin ve benzeri Suriye sehirlerinin nüfus yapısı 2011 yılı dahil yüzde 90 dan fazlası araptı YPG PYD oraya Kürtleri yerleştirip nüfus yapısı değiştirme uğraşında etnik temizlik yapıp Türkiye'ye göçe zorluyordu Türk ordusu bu zulmü bitirdi
15 million Kurds live in Turkey. Living Kurds have equal rights with Turks. These are Turkish citizens of Kurdish origin. Türkiye does not fight the Kurds or massacre the Kurds; It is fighting against terrorist organizations of Kurdish origin. Because these terrorist organizations killed Turkish soldiers and mostly Kurdish civilians living there, Turkey removed the Kurds from that region for a while in order to protect its own citizens and clear the region of terrorists. We did not commit genocide against any minority in Turkey, and we were not raised with hatred. Greek Armenians, Kurds, Jews, people are people. From what I see from the comments. It is not good for a country like Türkiye to be so tolerant.
@@edaaslan7347 Nothing new here. Just another turkey boy denying any and all atrocities committed by his country.
