First Battle Of İnönü 1927 Ottoman Military Map Nutuk Atatürk Turkish War of Independence

Ottoman Map – First Battle of İnönü (Nutuk, 1927)

Description:
An original Ottoman Turkish military map of the First Battle of İnönü (Birinci İnönü Muharebesi), one of the decisive engagements of the Turkish War of Independence. The map was published in 1927 as part of the first edition of “Nutuk” (The Great Speech), the monumental work written and delivered by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

The map illustrates the battle movements and strategic positions during the First İnönü Battle (1921), where Turkish forces under İsmet İnönü successfully resisted Greek advances, marking a critical turning point in the war. Later editions of Nutuk were published in modern Turkish with Latin script, but this early Ottoman Turkish edition remains especially valuable.
