Megali Idea in the Eyes of Greek Historians and the Role of French Press in the Years of World War

Yakup Kurt

The First World War was considered to be the war to meet the great expectations of Greece. Expanding its land with the help of Great States Greece was regarding the First World War as a rare opportunity to put flesh on the bones of its historical claims. Venizelos, thinking that absolute winner of this war would be allied states, was pleading to side with the allied forces and to take place in Gallipoli landings with Greek forces. However, Venizelos, who was favored by the British and the French, was in big dispute with Greek King Konstantin about joining the war. Due to the pressure of the Allied Forces, Greek King Konstantin left the country leaving his chair to his son Alexander. Thereby, after overcoming the obstacle faced, Venizelos made the decision to join the war and started to chase after the Megali Idea in Anatolian land.

BIRINCI DÜNYA SAVAŞI YILLARINDA YUNAN TARIHÇILERIN GÖZÜYLE BÜYÜK YUNANISTAN HAYALI VE FRANSIZ BASINININ ROLÜ

Yakup Kurt

Birinci Dünya Savaşı, Yunanistan için büyük beklentilerinin karşılanacağı savaş olarak değerlendirilmekteydi. Büyük Devletler’in yardımıyla topraklarını adım adım genişleten Yunanistan, I. Dünya Savaşı’nı, tarihi iddialarının ete kemiğe bürünüp tahakkuk edeceğini umduğu ender bir fırsat olarak görüyordu. Bu savaşın mutlak galibi İtilaf Devletleri’nin olacağını düşünen Venizelos, bu devletlerin yanında yer alarak, İngilizlerin Gelibolu çıkarmasına Yunan ordusunun da katılması gerektiğini savunmaktaydı. Ne var ki İngilizler’in ve Fransızlar’ın çok sempati duyduğu Venizelos, Yunan Kralı Konstantin ile savaşa taraf olmak konusunda ciddi anlaşmazlık içindeydi. İtilaf Devletleri’nce yapılan baskılar sonucunda Kral Konstantin ülkeyi terk ederek, yerini oğlu Alexandır’a bıraktı. Bu durum karşısında rahatlamış olan Venizelos, önemli paralar ödeyerek karşılığında Fransız basınının da desteğini almak suretiyle İtilaf Devletleri’nin yanında savaşa girme kararı aldı. Bunun üzerine Venizelos, Anadolu toprakları üzerinde Büyük Yunanistan’ı kurma davasının peşine düştü.
