Italian troops on Crete
Italian troops on Crete, including cavalry, artillery and carabinieri. 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. Prince George, was made High Commissioner, and a joint Muslim-Christian assembly was part-elected, part-appointed

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of Italian military presence on the island of Crete in 1898, during the complex political landscape of the region. Amidst the backdrop of the ongoing struggle for Greek independence and the involvement of the Great Powers, Crete remained under Ottoman rule. In an attempt to annex the island, a Greek force arrived, leading to the occupation by the Great Powers and the establishment of a national government under High Commissioner Prince George. The image showcases a diverse array of Italian troops, including cavalry, artillery, and Carabinieri, all poised and ready to maintain peace and control in their assigned areas. The division of the island among British, French, Russian, and Italian forces was a temporary measure, with the ultimate goal being the eventual unification of Crete with Greece. Despite the joint Muslim-Christian assembly and the nominal Ottoman suzerainty, the Italian soldiers played a significant role in keeping order and ensuring the peace during this transitional period in Crete's history.
