Victory Day is a Turkish national holiday that's celebrated on Aug. 30 each year. It's the day of the final victory between national Turkish forces over Greek invaders in 1922. The Ottoman Empire, which was in power for almost 600 years, was facing defeat during World War I. After the war, Turkey was divided and occupied by British, French, Italian and Greek troops.
