What is the relationship between the Greeks and the ottoman empire?

∙ 8y ago
The Ottoman Empire conquered Greece in the 1300s and 1400s and Greece only broke free in a century of wars from 1821 until 1923. During those roughly five centuries of occupation, Greek culture and religion (Greek Orthodox Christianity) were sublimated and repressed. As a result, Greek Independence was mainly cast as a revolt against Ottoman identity, culture, and religion, creating a high degree of antagonism between Greeks and Turks (the dominant Ottoman ethnic group). The last two decades of the wars between the Greeks and Turks resulted in the Pontic Greek Genocide, where Turks murdered 500,000 Greeks who lived in Anatolia, and a number of Greek massacres of Turks, especially near Smyrna (modern-day Izmir).
