June 12, 1914: What happened on that day?


Here's what happened on June 12, 1914:

  • Massacre of Phocaea On June 12, 1914, Turkish irregular forces conducted a brutal ethnic cleansing operation in the Ottoman Empire, systematically slaughtering between 50 to 100 Greek inhabitants of Phocaea and forcibly expelling thousands more from their ancestral homeland. This violent event was part of the broader ethnic tensions and demographic transformations occurring in the late Ottoman period, highlighting the tragic human cost of territorial and cultural conflicts.
  • Dissolution of French Cabinet On June 12, 1914, the French political landscape experienced a dramatic and short-lived governmental crisis when the cabinet led by Prime Minister Alexandre Ribot collapsed almost immediately after its formation. The Chamber of Deputies refused to pass a vote of confidence, effectively terminating the government before it could establish any significant policy initiatives. This event underscores the volatile nature of French parliamentary politics in the early 20th century, just weeks before the outbreak of World War I.
