dc.description.abstractAfter their defeat by the Turkish army at the Battle of Sakarya, it became clear that the Greeks could no longer maintain control in Anatolia. In an attempt to preserve their presence, the Greek government sought to establish autonomous administrations in certain regions. The first such plan involved creating the Ionian State in & Idot;zmir. A parallel initiative aimed to establish an autonomous entity centered in Bursa. A meeting was held at Bursa Municipality with religious leaders to discuss the nature of this autonomy. Aziz Nuri Bey, Director of the Bursa Immigration Office, was appointed as the proposed autonomous state's first governor. Pro-autonomy rallies were organized in districts with significant Greek populations, such as Mustafa Kemal Pa & scedil;a, Gemlik, and Karacabey. This study examines the Greek attempts to create an autonomous administration in Bursa during the Turkish War of Independence. It draws on archival documents from the Presidential State Archives and the Military History Directorate, as well as memoirs and periodicals of the period. The findings show that the Greeks aimed to control Bursa and its surroundings through political means after military failure. However, these efforts were ultimately thwarted by the victories of the Turkish National Movement under Mustafa Kemal Pasha's leadership.en_US
