ΔΩΡΕΑΝ ΣΥΜΜΕΤΟΧΗ
28 - 29 Απριλίου 2022
ΑΠΑΙΤΕΙΤΑΙ ΔΗΛΩΣΗ ΣΥΜΜΕΤΟΧΗΣ
The year 2022 marks the centenary of the end of the Greek-Turkish war of 1919-1922. This war was one of the final conflicts of a decade-long series of wars to which historians have referred to as the ‘Greater War’ decade. The Greek-Turkish war coincided with the end of the many conflicts and diplomatic or political processes that transformed eastern Europe and Russia as well as the near and middle East. It also marked an acute humanitarian crisis following the dislocation of minority populations across the Aegean Sea - one of the largest single population transfers of the Greater War decade.
Using the Greek-Turkish conflict as a starting point, this international conference brings together scholars working in various historical subfields to reflect on the wider context of nationalist agitations, state-building processes, imperial transformations and socio-economic upheavals across lands and seas in flux from Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, European and Asian Russia to the Eastern Mediterranean and beyond.
