The Greco-Turkish War of 1919-1922 was fought between Greece and the Turkish National Movement during the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire after World War I between May 1919 and October 1922. It is known as the Western Front  of the Turkish War of Independence in Turkey and the Asia Minor Campaign  or the Asia Minor Catastrophe  in Greece. The Greek campaign was launched primarily because the western Allies, particularly British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, had promised Greece territorial gains at the expense of the Ottoman Empire, recently defeated in World War I. The armed conflict started when the Greek forces landed in Smyrna , on 15 May 1919. They advanced inland and took control of the western and northwestern part of Anatolia, including the cities of Manisa, Balıkesir, Aydın, Kütahya, Bursa and Eskişehir. Their advance was checked at the Battle of Sakarya in 1921 by forces of the Turkish national movement. The Greek front collapsed with the Turkish counter-attack in August 1922, and the war effectively ended with the recapture of Smyrna by the Turkish forces and the Great Fire of Smyrna. As a result, the Greek government accepted the demands of the Turkish national movement and returned to its pre-war borders, thus leaving East Thrace and Western Anatolia to Turkey. The Allies abandoned the Treaty of Sèvres to negotiate a new treaty at Lausanne with the Turkish National Movement. The Treaty of Lausanne recognized the independence of the Republic of Turkey and its sovereignty over Asia Minor, Constantinople, and Eastern Thrace. Greek and Turkish governments agreed to engage in a population exchange.

What was the reason for armed conflict in the Greco-Turkish War?
Greco-turkiska kriget 1919-1922 utkämpades mellan Grekland och den turkiska nationella rörelsen under Osmanska rikets delning efter första världskriget mellan maj 1919 och oktober 1922. Den är känd som västfronten i turkiska frihetskriget i Turkiet och Mindre Asienkampanjen eller Mindre Asienkatastrofen i Grekland. Det grekiska fälttåget startades främst för att de västallierade, särskilt den brittiske premiärministern David Lloyd George, hade lovat Grekland territoriella vinster på bekostnad av Osmanska riket, som nyligen besegrats i första världskriget. Den väpnade konflikten startade när de grekiska styrkorna landsteg i Smyrna , den 15 maj 1919. De avancerade inåt landet och tog kontroll över den västra och nordvästra delen av Anatolien, inklusive städerna Manisa, Balıkesir, Aydın, Kütahya, Bursa och Eskişehir. Deras framryckning kontrollerades vid slaget vid Sakarya 1921 av styrkor från den turkiska nationella rörelsen. Den grekiska fronten kollapsade med det turkiska motanfallet i augusti 1922, och kriget slutade effektivt med att de turkiska styrkorna och den stora branden i Smyrna återerövrade Smyrna. Detta ledde till att den grekiska regeringen accepterade den turkiska nationella rörelsens krav och återvände till sina gränser före kriget, och lämnade därmed Öst-Trakien och västra Anatolien till Turkiet. De allierade övergav Sèvresfördraget för att förhandla fram ett nytt fördrag i Lausanne med den turkiska nationella rörelsen. Genom Lausannefördraget erkändes republiken Turkiets självständighet och dess suveränitet över Mindre Asien, Konstantinopel och östra Thrakien. Grekiska och turkiska regeringar gick med på att delta i ett befolkningsutbyte. Ställ en fråga om den här artikeln.
