What happened to the Balkan Turks ?
im just here for the whataboutism and the mental gymnastics that both sides will participate in
Okay? Post about Greeks in Turkey now. And about the population exchange in 1923.
Historically, what is now modern-day Northern Greece had a significant Turkish Muslim population that was native to the region and, at one point, formed the majority. Their history in the area is longer than the entire history of the United States. Unlike other parts of Greece, Turks genuinely settled in the north. Similarly, on the western Anatolian coastline, there were large Greek communities. Both populations were forcibly displaced from their historical homelands. Yet, while Greece recognizes the Greek genocide, I don’t understand how the displacement of millions of Balkan Turks, many of whom died along the way, is explained.
So you’re telling me the job isn’t done yet?
Colonisers*
Shouldn’t this be labeled as “1900 & 2000″ instead of ” 1900-2000″, since the map shows the state of the population in two different years instead of a gradual change of population in the duration between the two years?
Greece heeling!
What happened to the Greeks in Turkey who were excluded of the exchange in 1923?
Let’s see a map of Greeks and Armenians in Anatolia
The countries literally exchanged populaces!
The few Muslims remaining are Greeks
The concept of a coloniser/settler trying to replace the natives, being kicked out of conquered land doesn’t weight the same as natives being kicked out of their land by said conqueror to begin with.
Do you value the same, the native Americans who fought to kick out the Europeans to protect their land, and the Europeans who fought an expansionist war ?
Theres not mental gymnastics. War is war and there is no good guy. Not all are valued the same though and thats a fact seen by all sides and cultures at some point their history, no matter how much some of you are willing to ignore it
any form of decolonisation is valid and empowering.
This map is misleading. The population shift was not gradual, but rather the result of a specific incident. In 1923, Greece and Turkey engaged in a joint program of population exchange, which saw the displacement of millions of people from BOTH sides.
Is this a case of Ethnic Cleansing?
Fuck. We missed a spot.
This should never be shown without the equivalent map of Turkey
It’s important to distinguish between implanted Turkish populations and converted Greek populations. In Tripoli, Lebanon there are cretan muslims we move there in the XiXth century.

so they all moved to southern greece and the islands. not a bad choice.

Title should read The Genocide of Albanians in Northern Greece “1900-2000”
Needs more warcrimes. They have yet to get the message
