İzmir Province

İzmir, ancient Smyrna, was founded around 3000 BCE and flourished under Greek, Roman, and Byzantine rule. Taken by the Ottomans in 1424, it became a key Mediterranean trade port. Occupied by Greece in 1919, it was recaptured by Turkish forces in 1922; a great fire destroyed much of the city. Rebuilt after 1923, İzmir modernized by 1945. ➖ 📯Join the Turkish Republic and experience the fun! https://www.roblox.com/communities/983627443/Land-Forces-of-T-rkiye#!/about
