EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard, dated 1916, captures the spirit of patriotic fervor that gripped Thessaloniki, Greece during the First World War. The image depicts a triumphant moment in the city's history as Greek soldiers, waving new flags, celebrate their victory over the Turkish forces. The White Tower, a historic landmark and symbol of Thessaloniki, stands tall in the background, with a Greek soldier hoisting the national flag atop its ramparts. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonica, was a strategic city located in northern Greece and had been under Ottoman rule for centuries. However, during the First Balkan War in 1912, Greek forces managed to capture the city, marking a significant shift in the political landscape of the region. The following year, Thessaloniki became the capital of the newly established Kingdom of Greece. The image of Greeks triumphantly lowering Turkish flags and raising new Greek ones was a powerful symbol of the city's liberation and the emergence of a new Greek identity. The scene depicted in this postcard was likely a reenactment or commemoration of this historic event, which took place in the streets of Thessaloniki. The First World War brought about significant changes to the political and social fabric of Greece, and this postcard serves as a poignant reminder of the patriotic fervor and sense of unity that drove the Greek people during this time. The image of the White Tower, a symbol of Thessaloniki's rich history, standing tall amidst the triumphant scene, underscores the importance of the city's past and its role in shaping Greece's future.
