Greek genocide
Genocide campaign in the Ottoman Empire
The Greek genocide, which included the Pontic genocide, was the systematic killing of the indigenous Christian Ottoman Greek population of Anatolia because of their religion and ethnicity, which was carried out between 1912 and 1923. This period extended across the Balkan Wars (1912–1913), World War I and its aftermath (1914–1919), and the Turkish War of Independence (1919–1923).
