Albert Kahn Arşivi ; İlk Defa İzleyeceğiniz; SELANİK TÜRK GÖÇÜ 1913 Acı, Keder, Göz Yaşı !

In the early 20th century, Thessaloniki, the most brilliant jewel of the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans, awoke to a dark nightmare with the outbreak of the First Balkan War in the autumn of 1912. The surrender of the city to Greek forces in November 1912, the attacks and massacres by Balkan gangs against the civilian population, forced hundreds of thousands of Turks and Muslims to leave the lands where they had lived for centuries. This death march, undertaken in the freezing cold of winter and the shadow of epidemic diseases, triggered one of the largest mass migrations in history. While some tried to escape by horse-drawn carts or on foot, those who fled by ship struggled to survive in inhumane conditions in the ports. The refugees who sought refuge in Anatolia tried to survive in makeshift tent camps and mosque courtyards in these unfamiliar lands, under conditions of severe poverty. The Lausanne Peace Treaty, signed in 1923, and the compulsory "Turkish-Greek Population Exchange" brought the final act of this dramatic process to a close. Despite all the suffering and deprivation they endured, the immigrants who settled in Anatolia played an immense role in the social, cultural, and economic construction of the Republic of Turkey with their diligence and enlightened way of thinking. This historical period, spanning from 1912 to 1923, was not simply a population movement; it is one of the heaviest prices paid by the children of a nation as it was reborn from the ruins. Their precious memories are forever intertwined with the fabric of these lands. Don't forget to like the video, subscribe to the channel, and share our video to bring historical facts to more people!
