Bergama Raid

Berganma Raid refers to the raid of Bergama (ancient Pergamon, now a district center of İzmir Province, Turkey) by the Greek army during Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922). The Greek army landed in May 1919 İzmir and was continuing to occupy the area around Smyrna. When the Turks heard that the Greek troops had reached Reşadiye (Zeytindağ) on 10 June 1919, they realized that Bergama was next. Therefore, they blow up the ammunition depot in Bergama to prevent the capture of the depot by Greek forces.
