Özet
Millî Mücadele döneminde İtilâf Devletleri’nin Anadolu’daki işgallerine başkaldıran ve Türk milletinin haklı sesini dünya kamuoyuna duyurmaya çalışan mitinglerin önemi oldukça büyüktür. Bu bağlamda çalışmamızda, Mondros Mütarekesi’nin akabinde Anadolu’da başlayan işgalleri kınamak, Türk milletinin Mustafa Kemal Paşa’ya, TBMM’ye güvenini ve desteğini dile getirmek, işgal bölgelerindeki halka ve cephedeki askerlere moral vermek, Türk Ordusu’nun elde ettiği başarıları kutlamak üzere Bolu livasında düzenlenen mitingler, ihtifâller ve tezâhürât ele alınmıştır. İstanbul ve Ankara gibi iki önemli merkez arasında stratejik bir bölgede yer alan Bolu livasında geniş halk kitlelerinin katılımıyla yapılan bu gösteriler, Bolu halkının Millî Mücadele yolundaki birlik ve beraberliğini ortaya koymuş ve yurdunu İtilâf Devletleri’nin işgalinden kurtarma konusundaki azmini dile getirmiştir.
