At the end of the First World War, the Mudros Armistice was signed by the Ottoman
Empire. Partition plans previously agreed with secret agreements were put into practice and
hence the occupations began. Turkish people, who did not accept the occupations, entered
into the struggle by organizing around the Associations for the Defense of the National
Rights (Müdafaa-i Hukuk Cemiyetleri). The occupation of İzmir by the Greeks was the
spark thatfired the National Struggle in Anatolia. The occupation of İzmir which started on
May 15, 1919 and lasted more than three years was about to end with the end of the Great
Offensive (Büyük Taaruz). Our victorious army marching towards İzmir entered the city on
9th September and received by the people with great enthusiasm. This study examines how
liberation of İzmir was represented and reflected upon by the three newspapers – namely
Vakit, Akşam and İleri -- published in occupied Istanbul.
