Izmir, Turkey - View of the City 24 Hours After Bombardment by British in March 1915 (4/9) This haunting image captures the devastating aftermath of the bombardment of Izmir, Turkey, by the British fleet on March 18, 1915, during the First World War. The city, then known as Smyrna, was a major Ottoman port and a vital commercial hub in the eastern Mediterranean. The bombardment was part of the naval attack on the Ottoman Empire's Dardanelles Campaign, which aimed to secure a sea route to Russia and prevent the Central Powers from gaining control of the region. The bombardment lasted for several hours, and the results were catastrophic. The photograph shows the ruins of the city's buildings, with smoke rising from the wreckage. The streets are empty, and the few people visible are in a state of shock and despair. The damage is extensive, with entire blocks reduced to rubble. The once-vibrant cityscape is now a scene of devastation. The bombardment marked a turning point in the war for Izmir and its inhabitants. Thousands of people were killed or injured, and many more were left homeless. The attack also led to a mass evacuation of the city's Greek and Armenian populations, who feared for their safety in the midst of the conflict. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the destruction it can bring. It is a testament to the resilience of the people of Izmir, who rebuilt their city in the aftermath of the bombardment and went on to play a significant role in Turkish history. Today, Izmir is a thriving metropolis and a symbol of Turkey's rich cultural heritage.
