1897 23rd Conquered Enter Greco Greeks Invasion Larissa Muslim Turks
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of Turkish troops entering the Greek city of Larissa on April 23, 1897, following the Greeks' abandonment during the Greco-Turkish War. The date marks a significant turning point in the conflict, as the Ottoman Empire regained control over the city after decades of Greek rule. The Muslim soldiers, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, are seen marching through the gates of Larissa, their determined expressions and raised weapons conveying a sense of triumph and conquest. The empty streets and deserted buildings in the background underscore the suddenness and devastating impact of the invasion on the Greek population. The eventual outcome of the war led to the exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey, resulting in the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people from their homes. This poignant photograph offers a glimpse into a turbulent chapter of history, highlighting the complex and often fraught relationship between these two neighboring nations.
