Turkiye celebrating Victory Day
30.08.2022 09:30
Today marks the Victory Day in Turkiye, reported from the Turkish media.
Turkiye was occupied by allied forces after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the First World War (1914-1918).
The foreign occupation prompted Turkiye’s War of Independence in 1919, in which Turkish forces — led by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk — eventually drove the invaders from Anatolia.
From August 26 to August 30 of 1922, Turkish forces fought the Battle of Dumlupinar (considered part of the Greco-Turkish War) in Turkiye’s western Kutahya province, which they won.
By the end of 1922, all foreign forces had left the territories which would collectively become the new Republic of Turkiye one year later.
