Battle of Devrekani

The Battle of Devrekani, fought in 1920 during the Turkish War of Independence, was a significant military engagement between Turkish forces and Greek troops in Anatolia. This battle was part of the larger conflict over territory and national sovereignty following World War I. The Turkish forces, led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's supporters, aimed to defend their land from Greek occupation. The Turkish victory at Devrekani played a crucial role in bolstering the nationalist movement, paving the way for the establishment of modern Turkey and ultimately leading to the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923, which recognized Turkey's borders.
