French Soldiers on Crete
French Soldiers on Crete and various views of the Island. Although much of modern Greece had been independent since the 1820s, Crete remained in Ottoman hands. A Greek force arrived to annex the island in 1897 and the Great Powers acted, occupying the island and dividing it into British, French, Russian and Italian areas of control. In 1898, Turkish troops were ejected and a national government was set up, still nominally under Ottoman suzerainty.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the complex history of Crete, an island that remained under Ottoman rule long after much of Greece had gained its independence. In 1897, a Greek force arrived with the intention of annexing the island, but the Great Powers intervened, occupying the island and dividing it into areas of control by Britain, France, Russia, and Italy. In 1898, Turkish troops were eventually ejected, and a national government was established, still nominally under Ottoman suzerainty. Prince George was appointed as High Commissioner, and a joint Muslim-Christian assembly was part-elected, part-appointed. The French soldiers in this image, standing proudly before a grand palace, embody the military presence that kept the peace on the island during this tumultuous time. The ruins of the fortress in the background serve as a reminder of the island's rich history and the many conflicts that had shaped its destiny. The tranquil scene contrasts with the political turmoil that was unfolding, as various powers vied for control. This photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the history of Crete, a time when the island was on the cusp of change and the balance of power was shifting. The French soldiers, with their determined expressions and smart uniforms, symbolize the military might that was being marshaled to maintain order and preserve the peace in this historic and culturally rich region.
