- 说明:
- Crete was an Ottoman province from 16th century until 1898. From 1898 to 1913 the region became autonomous under Ottoman Empire and joined Greece. Ottoman's agreed to the Greek occupation of the island only after the Balkan Wars. This postcard was posted from Canea, which became scene to massacres of Turkish population by Greek insurgents in 1896 leading to Turco-Greek war of 1897. Between 1896-97 several thousand armed Greek nationalists from Greece landed secretly on to Crete to start a rebellion which aimed at the cessation of Ottoman rule on the island and "enosis" (Joining) of the island with Greece. The rebellion at its final stage created its famous leader Venizelos whom would play an important role in Greek history in later years. In 1897, the island was blockaded by British, French, Russian and Austro-Hungarian navies, preventing each other to occupy the island and of course, preventing Ottoman Turkish navy to bring help and troops to Turks on the island. An allied occupation force was formed to prevent war between Greeks and Turks on the island.
