Abstract
After the Sakarya Pitched Battle resulted in triumph, the Greek army retreated to the Eskişehir-Afyon line. According to this, the Turkish army spent 10.5 months preparing for an offensive to expel the Greeks from Anatolia. After the preparations were completed, Commander-in-Chief Gazi Mustafa Kemal Pasha ordered his army to attack on 26th August 1922, and on the first day, the Greek front was broken through. With successful battles in the five-day Great Offensive, the Greek army was devastated, and with the Field Battle of the Commander-in-Chief on August 30, this army was dealt the final blow and the escape of the subsequent Greek forces from Anatolia began. Among the Greek forces trying to escape was the arm of Trikupis. When this arm was surrounded by Turkish forces, the arm raised a white flag to achieve liberation. After the captivity of the arm, General Nikolaos Trikupis was taken to Commander-in-Chief Mustafa Kemal Pasha who learned from Trikupis Pasha that he had been appointed commander-in-chief of the Greek army. Trikupis returned to Athens after being held prisoner for a year in Kırşehir. The study focused on the captivity of General Trikupis, Commander-in-Chief of the Greek Army, who was captured after the Great Offensive. The study, which is handled by the qualitative method, aims to eliminate the disputed issues about how General Trikupis was taken prisoner.
