Özet:

 Izmir is one of the prominent symbolic cities of World War I, perhaps the first. What makes Izmir so important is not only its economic, commercial and agricultural potential, but also the struggle of two states, Italy and Greece, who were theoretically allies in the war, to dominate the city. The rivalry that began towards the end of the war and continued in Izmir after the armistice and in Paris where the peace conference was held went beyond being a rivalry between the two countries. In the competition between Italy and Greece, with the support of their own communities, the aim is to impress their allies. While Italy highlighted the secret agreements it signed with its allies when entering the war and during the war as the fundamental elements of its struggle, Greece saw the philhellenes in the public opinion of its allied states as the basis of its propaganda policy. The purpose of this study is to examine the competition between Italy and Greece in Izmir after the Armistice of Mudros. For this purpose, Italian sources are mainly used. The subject covers the period from the armistice to the occupation.

 İzmir, I. Dünya Savaşında öne çıkan sembol kentlerden birisi, belki de birincisidir. İzmiri böylesine önemli kılan, sahip olduğu ekonomik, ticari ve zirai potansiyeli olduğu kadar iki devletin, üstelik savaşta teorik olsa da müttefik olan iki devletin İtalya ve Yunanistanın şehre hȃkim olmak için verdiği mücadeledir. Savaşın sonlarında başlayan ve mütarekeden sonra İzmirde ve barış konferansının toplandığı Pariste yaşanan rekabet iki ülke arasında bir rekabet olmanın ötesine geçmiştir. İzmirde yaşayan Yunan vatandaşı Rumlarla onlarla iş birliği halinde olan yerli Rumların İtalyan vatandaşlarıyla ilişkileri, kimi zaman şiddete varan bir rekabet şeklinde gelişmiştir. İtalya ve Yunanistan arasında kendi cemaatlerinin de desteğiyle yaşanan rekabette hedef müttefiklerini etkilemektir. Bunun için her iki devlet de hiçbir fırsatı kaçırmamıştır. İtalya, savaşa girerken ve savaş devam ederken müttefikleriyle imzaladığı gizli antlaşmaları mücadelesinin temel unsuru olarak ön plana çıkarırken Yunanistan, müttefik devletlerinin kamuoylarında var olan Yunan severliği propaganda politikasının esası olarak görmüştür. İzmirde, Parisle birlikte Londrada yaşanan mücadelenin galibi Yunanistan olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı İtalya ile Yunanistan arasında İzmirde Mondros Mütarekesinden sonra yaşanan rekabeti incelemektir. Bunun için ağırlıklı olarak İtalyan kaynakları kullanılmıştır. Konu, mütarekeden işgale kadar olan dönemde yaşananları kapsamaktadır.
