Izmir has always had an important role because of its involvement both at the beginning and the end of the National Struggle. Greece, which used to be a vassal of the Ottoman State, occupied Izmir on 15 May 1919. Greece was supported by the British Empire and Izmir had a crucial location for their economy and for their Megola Idea ambitions. This occupation did not remain limited to Izmir, but continued further, including its hinterland. Consequently, occupation of Izmir accelerated the organization of the national resistance in Anatolia. The most important front wars of military operation in the National Struggle took place in the Western Anatolia, Izmir and its hinterland and repossession of Izmir by the Turkish army on 9 September 1922 marked the end of the war.Before the Armistice, during the First World War years, product and commodity prices considerably increased because of commodity shortages and continuous currency depreciation. This situation continued during the Armistice and occupation years after the Armistice. Increase in prices reduced the public purchasing power and with the inclusion of profiteering and black-marketeering to this chaos environment, Anatolian people had difficulty even in finding bread to eat. In this study, price increases, which were the concrete source of public financial difficulties during the occupation years, and the reasons behind these price increases in Izmir and in its hinterland will be analyzed in the light of period resources and comparisons between the status before and after the occupation years will be made.
