Burning of Smyrna

Be aware of some bloody scenes.

According to the Ottoman census in 1915 there were 2.601.312 Greeks(Rum) that lived in Minor Asia...few years later almost 1.200.000 were forced to leave their homes and came to (nowdays) Greece...the rest more than one million greeks were exterminated ...

Also hundred thousands greeks of Constantinople (nowdays Istanbul) who where supposed to be protected (included greeks of Imvros, Tenedos) by Treaty of Lozannes, after numerous deportations and pogroms, were all vanished ....like armenians...
