clgo:notes
  • a. Kuva-yi Milliye came under command of theGrand National Assemblyafter 4 September 1920.
  • c. TheTreaty of Ankarawas signed in 1921 and theFranco-Turkish Warthus ended. The French troops remained inConstantinoplewith the other Allied troops.
  • d. The United Kingdom occupied Constantinople, then fought against directlyTurkish irregular forcesin theBattle of Izmitwith the Greek troops, however after this the United Kingdom would not take part in any more major fighting. Moreover the British troops occupied several towns in Turkey such asMudanya.Naval landing forceshad tried to capture Mudanya as early as 25 June 1920, but stubborn Turkish resistance inflicted casualties on British forces and forced them to withdraw. There were many instances of successful delaying operations of small Turkish irregular forces against numerical superior enemy troops. The United Kingdom, which also fought diplomatically against theTurkish National Movement, came to the brink of a great war in September 1922 (Chanak Crisis).
  • e. The Ottoman controlledKuva-yi Inzibatiye(\"Caliphate Army\") fought the Turkish revolutionaries during theBattle of Izmitand the Ottoman government in Constantinople supported otherrevolts(e.g.Anzavur).
  • b. Italy occupied Constantinople and a part of southwestern Anatolia but never fought the Turkish Army directly. During its occupation Italian troops protected Turkish civilians, who were living in the areas occupied by the Italian army, from Greek troops and accepted Turkish refugees who had to flee from the regions invaded by the Greek army. In July 1921 Italy began to withdraw its troops from southwesternAnatolia.
  • f. Greece took 22,071 military and civilian prisoners. Of these were 520 officers and 6,002 soldiers. During the prisoner exchange in 1923, 329 officers, 6,002 soldiers and 9,410 civilian prisoners arrived in Turkey. The remaining 6,330, mostly civilian prisoners, presumably died in Greek captivity.
