Greek troops occupied Gallipoli on 4 August 1920 during the [[Greco-Turkish War (1919–22)|Greco-Turkish War of 1919–22]], considered part of the [[Turkish War of Independence]]. After the [[Armistice of Mudros]] of 30 October 1918 it became a Greek prefecture centre as ''Kallipolis''. However, Greece was forced to cede Eastern Thrace after the [[Armistice of Mudanya]] of October 1922. Gallipoli was briefly handed over to British troops on 20 October 1922, but finally returned to Turkish rule on 26 November 1922.
