Product description
Megali i̇dea1821 from the moravian uprising to the little asian revolt of 1922megali i̇dea — “great idea” — was a historical project that was the cornerstone of the modern greek national identity and also shaped a period of more than a hundred years. This dream, sparked by the rebellion that began in the mora peninsula in 1821, took root in the balkans, the aegean, and eventually the depths of anatolia, culminating in the collapse of the ottoman empire.
The aim was not only the acquisition of land, but the reconstruction of the hellenistic past: the recovery of the capital of byzantium, the reconquest of the “hellenic lands” and the establishment of a dominant greece in the eastern mediterranean…this book is the 19th of the megali idea. This is the first time that all the stages it went through from the early 20th century to the little asian depression of 1922 are considered in this scope and depth.
From the birth of greek nationalism to the disaster of the little asian expedition, from the rise of venizelos to the case of the sixties, 20. From the early 20th century's imperialist diplomacy to the formation of post-ottoman nation-states, numerous titles are brought together within a broad historical narrative.
Moreover, this narrative is not just an external observation
For the first time, esra özsüer conducted extensive academic research in official archives in greece, examining documents, reports, propaganda materials, and period-specific greek internal correspondence that had never before been included in turkish literature. this has opened up a new window into both diplomatic and social memory.
Esra özsüer illustrates that megali i̇dea is not just a desire for outward conquest, but also an identity crisis, a national trauma, and an internal reckoning. The little asian expedition, which ended in 1922 in izmir, was not just a military failure for greece
It was the downfall of an era, a thought and a vocation.
The blow that followed this great disaster, the conflict between the monarchists and the venizelist, the lining up of the sixes and the echoes of the defeat of anatolia in the social memory
The subject of the hagia sophia, which is a concern of the izmir ionian university, the state of ionia, and of course the greeks with the existence of their own nation, is transferred with an impressive solution in the “last word” section of the work. Megali idea: an original bedside book that offers both a resource and a discussion platform for anyone interested in the events from the 1821 mora uprising to the 1922 little asian revolt, the last century of the ottoman empire, greek nationalism, and modern eastern mediterranean history.
