Yup it was this war that led to the destruction of the old order, maybe not so bad in itself, but what came after was much worse. Like those lovely fun loving Narzis. On a personal note, this war and the subsequent Greco-Turkish War of 1922 (which my Grandfather fought in) led to the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Greek-speaking Christians, including members of my family, from Asia Minor. Likewise for many Muslims from Greece, though far fewer to begin with. A mess indeed.
