Second Greco Turkish War
Battle deaths: 50,000 Published prior to 2013 | Updated: 2013-08-01 11:55:05
The war arose because the western Allies, particularly British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, had promised Greece territorial gains at the expense of the Ottoman Empire if Greece entered the war on the Allied side. These included eastern Thrace, the islands of Imbros and Tenedos, and parts of western Anatolia around the city of Smyrna (current day Ýzmir), all of which had substantial Greek populations.
