9 EYLÜL İZMİR’İN KURTULUŞU
26 Ağustos sabaha karşı, Mustafa Kemal Afyon’dan Büyük Taarruz’u başlatır. 30 Ağustos’ta Başkomutanlık Meydan Muharebesi’nin kazanılmasının ardından “Ordular, İlk Hedefiniz Akdeniz’dir. İleri!” emri ile ordular, 9 Eylül’de İzmir’e girer ve “Akdeniz” hedefini gerçekleştirir...
Eşsiz bir destandır... Eşsiz bir destanı da ancak eşsiz bir şairin, eşsiz dizleri anlatabilir... Nazım Hikmet’in Kuvayi Milliye Destanı 8 bölümden oluşur. Büyük Taarruz’u anlatan son bölümdür.
SEPTEMBER NINE is a local holiday commemorating the LIBERATION of İZMİR, Turkey’s western province.
On May 15, 1919, the Greek Army landed in Izmir with the permission of the Entente States, sparking a campaign against the occupying forces in the country.
Forming the National Forces (Kuvayi Milliye) as a means of armed resistance against the invaders, Turks knew that there were only two possible choices: either surrender to the occupation forces or fight against them.
On Sept. 9, 1922, Izmir was liberated by Turkish troops commanded by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, and foreign intervention in Anatolia come to an end.
The Treaty of Lausanne, a crucial agreement ending the war, was signed on July 24, 1923.
The Treaty of Lausanne — signed by Turkey on one side and Britain, France, Italy, Greece, and their allies on the other — recognized the modern Turkish state and replaced the 1920 Treaty of Sevres, an unfair pact imposed on the Ottoman Empire after World War I.
