Abstract

Pushed by the spirit of the “Megàli Idèa” (the Great Idea), Greece launched a military offensive against Turkey in the attempt to incorporate the Western coastal territories of Asia Minor occupied for centuries by “Greek” communities. This military undertaking resulted in the so‐called Asia Minor Catastrophe, in which Greece was forced to accept a compulsory exchange of populations. The paper sheds light on the geographical areas in Turkey from where about 1,300,000 people were forced to leave as well as the Greek territories which hosted them; the work also looks into the consequences derived, with a lens on the demographic impact and the urbanization process triggered in the Hellenic capital since then.
