Izmir (Ancient Smyrna) was one of the most cosmopolitan and wealthy
trade ports in the Ottoman Empire. Its population was by no means
exclusively Turkish, but counted many Greeks and Italians as
residents, some tracing their lineage back to the Italian city states
that sent Crusaders to Anatolian shores.
Today Izmir is the last redoubt of the noble Ottoman Empire, who have
seen their empire reduced by an invasion of Romanians and Bulgarians.
Of all unlikely sources, their sole aid has come from the Greeks,
whose offshore fleets have not been the invading force that would
appear in 1922 historically, but instead rise to face the
Bulgarian/Ottoman threat.
