Cretan Turks
Sectarian violence during the 19th century caused many to leave Crete , especially during the Greco-Turkish War of 1897 , and after autonomous Crete's unilateral declaration of union with Greece rule in 1908 . Finally , after the Greco-Turkish War of 1919–1922 and the Turkish War of Independence , the remaining Muslims of Crete were compulsorily exchanged for the Greek Christians of Anatolia under the terms of the Treaty of Lausanne ( 1923 ) . Basically , migrational movements took place in three waves , the last one being initiated through the 1923 population exchange between Greece and Turkey .
