123 years ago Istanbul, year 1898 Source: Eye Filmmuseum #ottoman #ottomansultans #oldistanbul #ottomancities The occupation of Istanbul took place following the Armistice of Mudros signed between the Ottoman Empire and the Allied Powers, which declared the end of World War I between these countries. The Ottoman capital, Istanbul, was occupied twice, first on November 13, 1918, and then on March 16, 1920. In the first occupation, important and strategic points of Istanbul were taken under control, but the administration was not seized; with the second occupation, the administration was seized. In September 1922, after the Liberation of Izmir, Mustafa Kemal Pasha ordered Turkish troops to move to Çanakkale, which was occupied by British and French, in order to liberate Istanbul. Following this order, the Çanakkale Crisis broke out. While the Turks were fighting the War of Independence, the United Kingdom, which was dealing with the Irish issue, came to the brink of war with the Ankara Government. Liberal Prime Minister David Lloyd George wanted to launch an attack on Mustafa Kemal's troops, but he could not get the support of his allies and was met with strong resistance from the anti-war opposition in his country and the dominions (except Newfoundland and New Zealand). The Conservative Party, which accused Lloyd George of trying to start an unnecessary war, left the coalition with the Carlton Club declaration (Carlton Club meeting) on 19 October 1922, and the Lloyd George government fell. Diplomatic events subsequently developed in favor of the Turks. The occupation ended with the ceremonial entry of the 3rd Army Corps under the command of Şükrü Naili Pasha into the city on 6 October 1923, after the last Allied troops left the city on 4 October 1923. old istanbul the oldest istanbul video the oldest istanbul photo the oldest istanbul videos the oldest istanbul photos Istanbul 1898 Istanbul 1895 Istanbul 1897 Istanbul 1800
