April 13th, 1822 – Massacre at Naousa.
At the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence, Greeks from all over the crumbling Ottoman Empire, rose up against their Turkish oppressors, seeking their freedom.
In western Macedonia, Greek leaders such as; Anastasios Karatasos, Angelos Gatsos and Zafeirakis Theodosiou declared a Revolution there.
The Ottomans in response, launched a horrific campaign to put down the rebellion.
They sent an extra 20,000 troops, who then raped, massacred and slaughtered thousands of civilians and captured any remaining women and children, sending them into slavery.
