This media file displays a dark exhibition panel, likely from a museum in Nea Filadelfia, Greece, featuring a historical timeline with prominent dates 1920, 1919, and 1914, along with a large partially visible "50" to the right. The panel presents information in both Greek and English, detailing significant events in early 20th-century Greek history. For 1920, a black-and-white photograph shows numerous men seated around a long table in a formal indoor setting, likely depicting the signing or negotiation of a treaty. The accompanying text describes "The Treaty of Sèvres," its ratification and rejection by the Turkish National Assembly, the election defeat of Eleftherios Venizelos, and the return to power of Germanophile King Constantine, which provoked negative Allied reactions and military operations on the Asia Minor front. For 1919, another black-and-white photograph captures a large crowd of people, including uniformed figures, gathered outdoors, possibly at a port or public event. The text describes the "Landing of the first Greek forces in Smyrna," the launch of the Asia Minor campaign, Mustafa Kemal's disembarkation at Samsun, and the start of the "third and last phase of the Genocide of the Greeks." For 1914, partially visible text notes the escalation of "prosecutions and criminal actions against the Greeks of Anatolia and Pontos," marking "the second phase of the Genocide." Further up the timeline, text mentions "Balkan Wars" and "The Committee of Union and Progress." The overall scene is a detailed historical exhibit on significant events impacting Greece and the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century.
