What is Population exchange between Greece and Turkey?
A '''population exchange between [[Greece]] and [[Turkey]]''' took place at the suggestion of the Greek government by the [[Treaty of Lausanne]] (1923). It took place according to religious criteria. The expulsion affected the [[Greek Orthodox]] in [[Anatolia]] and [[Izmir]] in Turkey and the [[Muslims]] in Greece and [[Crete]]. The exceptions were Greeks in [[Istanbul]], [[East Thrace]], and the islands of [[Gökçeada]] and [[Bozcaada]] in Turkey. Muslims living in [[Western Thrace]] in Greece and islands like [[Rhodes]] were allowed to stay.<ref>{{Cite web|title=POPULATION EXCHANGE (MÜBADELE)|url=https://turkeyfromtheinside.com/turkey-in-the-past/p/965-population-exchange-muebadele.html|access-date=2022-12-08|website=turkeyfromtheinside.com|archive-date=2022-12-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221208193822/https://turkeyfromtheinside.com/turkey-in-the-past/p/965-population-exchange-muebadele.html|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/208566 | jstor=208566 | title=The Exchange of Populations between Greece and Turkey | last1=Blanchard | first1=Raoul | journal=Geographical Review | year=1925 | volume=15 | issue=3 | pages=449–456 | doi=10.2307/208566 }}</ref> == References == {{reflist}} [[Category:1923]] [[Category:1920s in Turkey]] [[Category:1920s in Greece]] {{-}} {{history-stub}}
