 Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The GrecoTurkish War of 19191922, also called the War in Asia Minor, and (in Turkey) a part of the Turkish War of Independence, was a war between Greece and Turkey fought in the wake of World War I.
Mustafa Kemal, the leader of Turkish revolutinaries, was forming a Turkish national movement at Anatolia, which repudiated the Treaty of Sèvres and prepared for defense what they believed was their national land.
In October 1920, with the encouragement of Lloyd George who intended to increase the pressure on the Turkish Revolutionaries and the Ottoman government to sign the Treaty of Sèvres, the Greek army advanced east into Anatolia with the intention of defeating the national forces before they were ready to attack the Greek perimeter at İzmir.

 Battle of Inonu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Inonu describes two battles that were fought in 1921 near the Turkish village of Inonu during the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922), which marked a turning point in the war.
The commander of the Turkish forces at Inonu, Ismet Pasha, who was one of Kemal's closest collaborators, had his name changed to Ismet Inonu by Kemal Ataturk himself in memory of the victory at Inonu.
While the battles marked a turning point in the war, following the battles of Inonu there was a stalemate, as the Turks had missed their chance to encircle and destroy the Greek army, which retreated in good order.

Although the Turkish War of Independence was fought mainly against the invading Greeks, it had elements of a civil war as well, since the movement for liberation also opposed Turks who still supported the Ottoman sultan and his government in occupied Istanbul.
Turkish jubilation over the victory was matched by the determination of the Greeks and their preoccupation with their Megali Idea.
The attack that began on 26 August 1922, was followed by a day in which everything seemed to be over for the Greeks and their hope of reversing a history of one thousand years by re-establishing a Greek Empire that would include Asia Minor.

 Hemingway Review, The: INFANTRY AND INFANTICIDE IN A FAREWELL TO ARMS
The trench warfare of World War I, the Greco-Turkish War of 1919-1922, and the 1915-1923 Armenian Genocide complicated modernists' interest in "the new," as these atrocities were only "modern" insofar as they employed killing machines and systemic warfare.
For a war novel, however, A Farewell to Arms ends rather surprisingly, with the strangled and stillborn death of Frederic's and Catherine's infant, and Catherine's subsequent death by hemorrhaging.
The novel continues to narrate the horror of war and the bonds of love among soldiers and between couples, bonds with the power to sustain characters through ambushes and defection, rain storms and injury.
