After the armistice of Mudros in 1918, the Ottoman Empire started to dissolve while being occupied by Allied powers and several independence movements erupted across its territory. The Turkish National Movement didn't want to accept any territorial changes in their heartland and fought back against France in the Cilicia Campaign or the Franco-Turkish War.

SIR YES SIR
yup still dont like turks to this day
Forgot to mention that the French left all the armaments to the Turks
Very important for the war on Eastern front repercussions
Not only Antep was renamed, Urfa was renamed as Şanlıurfa (Glorious Urfa) and Maraş became Kahramanmaraş (Heroic Maraş). Latter two were renamed in 80s though.
You’ve missed “carl” in you name
@Timur Serdengeçti Dediğin doğru değil.. Maraşta olanları bilmiyorsun.. 1925 te bize madalya verildi.. daha sonrasında kahraman.. politik ile alakası yok
Ona bakarsan size madalya taaa 2000 lerde verildi bize 1925 te
@Timur Serdengeçti Bize Atatürk ve meclis bu madalyayı verdi siz akp zamanı aldınız madalyayı bence bu daha politik
@Timur Serdengeçti biz kendi gücümuzle attık Fransızları.. siz antlaşma yapıldığı zaman özgür oldunuz.. siz de çok kahramanlık yaptınız siz de çok iyi savundunuz ben sizi kötülemiyorum..
Its funny because that turks got smashed as the ottomans but as turkey they managed to defeat 4 nations at once
It just show the couraption of Ottoman gov, but also the empire it self made by different ethnicities which some of they betrayed the empire such as a Some arabs or even some were enemy of the state from before like Saudis
After all wars between 1850-1915 empire lost 4,5 million people (from total of 20 or smth) what left there was the last chance of turks
Actually beat the Allies in gallipoli, and was actually defending the ottoman lands well except middle east as British got Arabs to revolt. Ottomans lost the war due to the German and Austrian empires who failed which meant Turkey like its allies suffered both monetarily and loses of land. Look up what happened to Germany after ww1, economic disaster. So it was by default that Turkey lost in the war and not actually due to military failures
@@huseyinkuzucu5308 Bro we lost every front except gallipoli, siege of kut and if you cope harder maybe you can count libyan revolt provoked by Ataturk but thats all. All defensive victories until the Independence war of Turkey
@@agape_99 We fought till the very end at least. Ottomans were not ready to join the war it was Enver Pasha and his bs ideas that led us into war. Plus you are not Turkish dude stop lying you litterly follow every RUclips channel except a Turkish one. No need to act like you're Turkish.
The whole period from 1918 to 1939 is very much overlooked and looks to be just as bloody all over the world. So this was the peace.
Africa was only bloody when the Europeans committed their atrocities there.

Truly a badge of honor.
@@booradley6832 This is a honor of our motherland American boy. If you want to see dishonor, u can look Vietnam, Iraq etc. At least Turkey is near that cities. Your country is far than 20000 km to this countries
A great day to release this video! Today's the 98th year anniversary of the proclamation of the Republic of Turkey on October 29th, 1923!
Yes
Ottomans suck
I am proud to be Turkish. There was a lonely Turkish army. And this army brought France, Italy, England, Greece and Italy to their knees. long live Mustafa Kemal pasha
"to their knees" is a bit if an overstatement. I mean, in case of the the English, Italians and France, they just sent expeditionnary forces. The French had between 20 and 50 000 men in Anatolia in 1919, which is consequent, but compared to the 5 millions french soldiers who fought Germany in Northern France, that's nothing.
Turkey was fighting for its survival, while Europeans were just looking for some additional colonies.
The British really did not fight in the Turkish War of Independence and the Italians did not take part in a military sense. The war against the Greeks was the main component of the Turkish War of Independence.
put down the hooka of hash. Europe didnt give a hoot about Anatolia... still doesnt.

no
@@datboi7893 why ?
Yes
Yep the Wayback history channel has also done this for a couple multi-part series such as the Collapse of Austria-Hungary
I wouldn't recommend long videos . Kings and general's, sometimes not given accurate infarmation about history!!
I love this channel and I'm gonna support it
Loved this episode!
Hopefully if you keep covering the Middle East you will discuss about the Saudi conquest or the Egyptian Revolution. Love this channel.
If you're talking about the conquest of hijas it will come later in 1926, i see that they didn't cover what is called in western sources al-Khurma dispute (known as "معركه تربه" in Arabic) which had serious implications and effectively changed the balance of power in Arabia, so it's hard to see them suddenly jumping to cover post war Arabian in 1926.
still i would be very interested in seeing that, especially considering that they would probably quote many western news papers covering the events as they happened.
i have read about these events from the local and a little bit on Russian sources but never from western ones.
That be interesting a Saudi conquest video . Ive seen a few vids how the tribe started .. married into different tribes .well the rule married n had kids with all the chieftens daughters
@@shadowrealm8014 he married a lot but i wouldn't say all the tribes but differently the major ones (he had about 50 sons, the way he dealt with former enemies like the rulers of hail whom he gave the title amer and made some of them very close, he was a genius leader both In political and military matters, he is the last king to conquer a vast kingdom long after people believed the time for those was long gone and would have continued expanding if the rest of Arabia wasn't held by the British, i find it frustrating that this man isn't known at all to the rest of the world other than experts
I could recommend some books about him if you would like
@@Saleh-994 sounds fascinating right :)
They go as they come...
Mustafa Kemal ATATüRK
In the city of Aintap todays name GaziAntep the Turkisch forces where made of 8000 civilian mans. 6000 of them broke knew they could not defend the city so they went to Ankare to be part of the national army. 2000 man left did fight the French for 13 months. Afther 13 months food in the city was finished…so they capitulated but before capitulation 2000 man fought themsleves out the city around 800 died then…the other 1200 men began an gurilla war from the mountains. Woman and childeren did surrender the city to the French army.
turkish surrender
There is so much bloodshed. Everyone talks about their own losses of civilians, enemy's losses in battle.
your pronunciation and proper emphasis where needed is awesome
Another great production TGW and Jessie. Well done.
wow thanks so much for covering this, i don't think anyone else has
great video!
I like this guy. Got work! Keep them coming!
another great example of imperialist countries promising some local minority population protection & indepedence and haven etc and then leaving them high and dry when the going gets a little bit rough. to this day the western world still does it all over asia africa and the middle east. here is to hoping that educational videos such as this will reach enough people that no one will fall for those lies ever again.
Normally I would argue with you, but then I thought about the Kurds and how we used them, only to leave them to their fate.

Great episode, never knew about this part of the war!
I look forward to those "and the only history channel on RUclips..." endings. A little levity after a depressing lesson.
Interesting topic. I did not know much about it.
7:58 Can sound a bit irrelevant, but these small details/misunderstandings change a lot in people's eyes. Gaziantep doesn't mean Warrior Antep, Ghazi means someone who has lost a body part in war. So it can be roughly translated to Veteran Antep, still wouldn't be a 100% correct translation.
Perhaps Wounded Warrior Antep would work better?
Or Ghazi Antep?
@@MatthewSmith-sz1yq close
ghazi literally means who took part in an any war. your suggestion is extremely modern term
to be more technical, ghazi is a person, who took part in ghaza, relatively equivalent to ''modern'' arabic mujahideen, who took part in jihad
Excellent video 📹
WOW 👏
An extraordinary video.
Never read in my history books 📚 😐
Great content!
"We did not sure about if there was a state or an goverment before it. We knew that the ottoman was destroyed. Foreigners came, burned and destroyed our houses. We don't know whether soldiers will come or help us. All we know is that we could not bow down to these brazen acts. They were soldiers. We were civilians. on the other hand, we were just civilians trying to protect honor and their home. Then I don't know what happened. We started to resist. Our small-scale resistance suddenly grew as if it was organized. We didn't have a leader. We fired these people who burned down our house with pickaxes and shovels. Then we didn't stop. My father is went to Antep but he couldn't turn back. We won our lands of our own will." My grandfather used to tell it like this. i hope i translated well. Afterwards, the new government asked for a list from Maraş to reward those who led the struggle after this liberation. But there was no such leader. Thereupon, the award was given to the city. The name of the city was given the title "Kahraman" mean of Hero. A medal of "istiklal" was also awarded.
“Maraş'ta Millî Mücadele'ye katılmayan tek bir fert bile yoktur”
The work they are doing is very valuable because the events they are covering are still echoing down the decades a century later. I am familiar with this history but I am a college and self taught but not published historian. The vast majority outside the area today are ignorant of these events. You cannot understand the Middle East today without having some basis of knowledge of the past 1000 years of history.
There is scarcely any other channel whose episodes I anticipate more.
Great job Jesse, Flo, Joé & crew! This is truly an eye-opening episode about a trauma & a sustainable shift in geopolitics in the Middle East that both happened 100 years ago. Cheers!
Thanks for your help as well of course!
@@jessealexander2695 I have studied and taught history for over 50 years with a considerable concentration on the C20th and I have never read anything about this conflict. I very much enjoy the series. Side note. I think your commentary style is excellent. Loving the Franco-Prussian War.

First peace fell aparts because of Turkish defeat in Kütahya-Eskişehir wars but after that in August Under High Command of Mustafa Kemal Pasha Turkish Army won the war of Sakarya against Greek army and turn the Balance of greko-Turkish war to their advantage. So bouillon came back to Ankara and sign the peace treaty. Turkish Republic cancelled all of economic privileges in Tresty of Lausan and took back Allexandrta(Hatay) in 1939 from France .
The Greeks actually started to get the upper hand at the end and if it wasn't for some curropted politicians and talk of bringing the king back the war may have ended different, the Greek army had defeated the Turks and were pushing them back. But we won't mention that because it wasn't part of this video.

It's not nationalist movement but national movement.
First I ever heard of this war. So much history goes untold. Until now.
On 29th of October huh. Nice.
Will you make an episode on the search for the unknown soldier in Italy in 1921?
so much interesting stuff i never learned about
I like these videos on the post-WWI conflicts.
It's been years since I've read about this war and others in Turkey. But it still sounds as fun as ever. Great video.
Fun fact: Yesterday was the day that turkey got its independence
Actually, no. October 29 is the anniversary of the declaration of the Republic (which took place in 1923). It's August 30 that we celebrate the anniversary of our victory in the War of Independence (which took place in 1922).
Not really. October 29 is the day of the declaration of the republic (1923). The symbolic date celebrated for the liberation is August 30, the anniversary of the battle of dumlupinar (1922).
Independence? From what slavery or which colonialism? Independence is NOT a right word. Turks were never colonized or slaved.
@@KamilKartal like they formed democracy and they did the war of independence against British ,France Italy Greeks…
I meant that
I think you have to mention this Ankara deal Come Just after Battle of Sakarya. This is most critical part of this deal
There was some provinces at the black sea (espacially Zonguldak) that was also occupied by the French until there were driven out.

legend says in Gaziantep. French took over houses, Government Buildings, Weapons,...
Turks didnt get bothered.
The local revolt started when French Patrol stopped an old Turkish lady looked under the Headscarf.
Under the leadership of Atatürk the Turks showed gumption and thwarted the designs of the Entente Powers which would have rendered Turkey weak and prostrated like they did to Germany.
Wrong. The Turks massively outnumbered all of the forces they encountered. It was a real shame that the Europeans didn't take this war seriously.

Italians left after the French because they were mostly waiting to see how the war goes. Thats why the Turks and Italians didnt have much violance between each other because Italians didnt occupy harshly. Italians left after Turks were turning the tide.

6th of November 2021 marks the 100th anniversary since the East Karelian Uprising began, which lead to any hopes of a free Karelia being crushed under the Red Russian boot and 30 000 Karelians fleeing to Finland as refugees. This event also was the last of the conflicts and skirmished known as "heimosodat", where Finnish volunteers were involved in the conflicts and revolts of related peoples like the Estonians, Ingrian Finns and Karelians. Will there be any mentions of this in future videos?
Russia should be partitioned and Karelia should be cleared of Russian settlers and granted to Finland as an autonomous region. Finland has a part to play in the upcoming dance of Russias death. Just hope the awfully stagnant liberal democracy elements wont cause Finland to sleep on the oppurtunity.

This may be a big question, but I wonder why the nationalists in Turkey won against the occupying Allies in the end? I would have thought that the combined might of the British and French could crush Turkey, but maybe they were too weakened from WW1?
Same reason behind why the US lost to Vietnam. Sure, they could definitely win the war based on numbers, but the political consequences weren't worth it.
Imagine you are in France, post WW1. A large chunk of the country has been reduced to rubble, and had been occupied by the Germans for 4 years. Almost every man of fighting age in your village had been forcibly sent off to war, and the few who were lucky enough to survive never truly left the trenches. Almost everyone knew someone who died in the war, a brother, father, son, or close friend. Now some politician is getting your country involved in yet another war, this one far away on the other side of the Mediterranean. Why? Is France in danger? No, it's purely for diplomatic influence in the region. Needless to say, you probably wouldn't vote for the guy, and you'd vote for the guy who promises to GTFO as soon as possible. You've seen more than enough war for 10 lifetimes, and certainly don't want to see anymore.
Compare this to the average Turkish Nationalist. You are told that your country, your home, is under attack, and it's up to you to defend it. It's a fight for survival. Sure, you've seen the horrors of the war, but you've also been exposed to years of war propaganda that tells you the French are evil, and now they are on your doorstep. It's not a political issue, it's an ideological one.
TLDR; To the French, it was a diplomatic action meant to increase their influence in the Middle East, while to the Turks, it was a fight for survival. The French public was war weary, and didn't want to see another war.
After the horrors of the Great War and the defeat of the 'real enemy' (Germans), people were simply too tired to continue a war. This was one of the main reasons of Allies defeat.
There were political pressure in home for both UK and France to end the war. Both were exhausted from the attrition of the Great War.
British people and parliament itself was against supporting greece against turkey(there was still a limited help though,because of the PM’s hatred of Turks.)France,as one of the guys said up there,took a heavy damage after WW1 and simply couldnt afford more fighting.After a fee battles they were pushed back to Syria and demanded an armistice.Italy itself was symphatetic to Turkey because If it wasnt for greece,they would get İzmir(Smyrna)Infact,when they left after the Battle of Sakarya,some of equipment was left behind which our armies could use.Also,there was a limited soviet help to us too.The reason soviets supported us was the fact that Lenin thought Ataturk was a revolutionary like him.Also,if the straits fell to the british or greece,the straits would be closed to Russian ships and they would have a hard time trading with other countries and therefore russians decided to help turkey.But of course they were still in a civil war by the time the Turkish War of Liberation happened so their help was very limited to a few thousand rifles and some gold.
1.Greek presence in western part of turkey caused concern for Italy(earlier those lands were promised for Italy by the allies)
2.France wasnt happy about the results of treaty of Versaille and double crossed by Britain in Treaty Sevres(Britain got all oil regions in Iraq while france gets useless regions like Syria)
3.Turks teaming up with Soviet union and crushing Armenia meaning a big loss for the allies
4.Anti-war public opinion rising in europe pressuring goverments to withdraw from Turkey
5.All of Britains greed and betrayal to the allies lead France and Italy to support Turkey eventually
Little Known Fact: Ataturk wasn't directly involved during the Franco-Turkish comflict (Southern front as it is called in Turkey) As the irregular forces were organized after the French retreat. This means Turks didn't actually fought directly on a front with the French, but rather fought a guerilla warfare against them, by tactics such as assassinations and sabotaging, eventually making southern Anatolia unfavourable for the French colonizers, forcing them to retreat and demand an agreement.
the Turks made agreement where they let French colonize Syria. Turks have always betrayed Arabs.

Generic coment for the algorithm
Obligatory reply.
Jesse 9:30 You persist in calling Abadie 'leftenant colonel' -- an English rank -- even though your own caption uses his French rank of lieutenant colonel. Why?
😖 Both of these ranks are the same. One is the translation of the other. Each rank refers to the ‘deputy’ to the colonel of a regiment or battalion.
Also, because it's English and consistency of spelling is alien to that language, the rank that is pronounced as "leftenant" is actually spelt "lieutenant", so both spoken and written word use English here.
As an impartial observer I can see that there was genocide on both sides.
