It was captured by the Turks in 1462. A brief revolt against Ottoman rule in 1821, led by Hajiyorgis Metaxas, failed. During the period of the 1821 revolution, Thassos breathed a short period of freedom, when the Greeks arrived to the island and the tzormpatzis was set head of the revolutionary movement. The Turks were defeated and expelled to Kavala.</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <br> <P>   However, this did not last long, because the fear of pirates led the Thassians to seek help from the passa of Thessalonica. Thus, in the end of 1821 they signed a treaty with him, fact which enraged the sailmen of Psara because it led the revolution to failure. During the Greek revolution, Thassos and the rest of the islands raised the flag of revolution. More than 1000 people were cruelly butchered, others were tortured and many lost their properties.</P> <P>   The island was given by the Sultan Mahmud II to Muhammad Ali of Egypt, as a reward for Egyptian intervention in the War of Greek Independence (which failed to prevent the creation of the modern Greek state).</P> <P>   Egyptian rule was relatively benign (by some accounts Muhammad Ali had either been born or spent his infancy on Thasos) and the island became prosperous, until 1908, when the New Turk regime asserted Turkish control. On October 20, 1912 during the First Balkan War, a Greek naval detachment claimed Thasos as part of Greece, which it has remained since.</P> <br> </td> </tr> </table> <table width="100%"><tr><td><IMG style="LEFT: 692px; TOP: 191px" height=200 alt="Mehmet Ali (Muhammad Ali) of Egypt" hspace=0 src="../../images/muhammad-ali.jpg" width=300 border=0></td> <td><IMG style="LEFT: 183px; TOP: 1532px" height=200 alt="Sultan Mahmud II after his clothing reform" hspace=0 src="../../images/mahmud-2.jpg" width=300 border=0></td></tr></table> <P><CENTER></CENTER></P> <table width="100%"border="0" align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr align="middle"> <td><a href="../thassos-antiquity" title="Thassos Antiquity" target="_parent"><font size="1"><b>Antiquity</b></font></a></td> <td><a href="../thassos-roman-era" title="Thassos Roman Era" target="_parent"><b><font size="1">Roman Era</font></b></a></td> <td><a href="../thassos-ottoman-era" title="Thassos Ottoman Era" target="_parent"><b><font size="1">Ottoman Era</font></b></a></td> <td><a href="../thassos-balkan-wars" title="Thassos During the Balkan Wars" target="_parent"><b><font size="1">During the Balkan Wars</font></b></a></td> <td><a href="../thassos-world-war-2" title="Thassos During World War II" target="_parent"><b><font size="1">World War II</font></b></a></td> <td><a href="../thassos-modern-history" title="Thassos Modern History" target="_parent"><b><font size="1">Thassos Today</font></b></a></td> </tr> </table> <br> </TD> <TD vAlign=top width="20%" align="center"> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> <script type="text/javascript">document.write('<a style="display:block;width:100%;height:1px;" class="aff-ad-none"></a>');window.AFF_ONLOAD = window.AFF_ONLOAD || [];window.AFF_ONLOAD.push({lkid:"20479610",affid:"10144185",size:"300*250",type:"2",uid:"427775",language:"en",web_id:"40",version:110});var aff_s = document.createElement("script"),aff_h = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];aff_s.charset = "utf-8";aff_s.async = !0;aff_s.src = "https://js.affasi.com/affasi_js.min.js";aff_h.insertBefore(aff_s, aff_h.firstChild);</script></TD> </TR> <TR vAlign=center align=middle> <TD colspan="3"> <table align="center"><tr><td align="center" valign="top"> <iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/likebox.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FThassosIsle&width=190&height=250&show_faces=true&colorscheme=light&stream=false&border_color&header=true&appId=278637755502875" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:190px; height:350px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe> </td><td align="center" valign="top"> <div id="fb-root"></div> <div id="fb-root"></div><script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#appId=APP_ID&xfbml=1"></script><fb:comments href="http://www.thassos.net.gr/thassos-history/thassos-ottoman-era/" num_posts="5" width="490"></fb:comments></div> <script type="text/javascript">document.write('<a style="display:block;width:100%;height:1px;" class="aff-ad-none"></a>');window.AFF_ONLOAD = window.AFF_ONLOAD || [];window.AFF_ONLOAD.push({lkid:"20479585",affid:"10144185",size:"468*60",type:"1",uid:"427775",language:"en",web_id:"40",version:110});var aff_s = document.createElement("script"),aff_h = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];aff_s.charset = "utf-8";aff_s.async = !0;aff_s.src = "https://js.affasi.com/affasi_js.min.js";aff_h.insertBefore(aff_s, aff_h.firstChild);</script> </td><td align="center" valign="top" width="185"> <div align="center"><a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/Thassos_Greece" data-widget-id="298086693976805376">Tweets σχετικά με @Thassos_Greece</a> <script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script> </div> </td></tr></table> <div align="center"><table height="5%" width="100%" align="center"><tr><td valign="middle" align="right"><br><br><b>Make Money - Get Paid to Click Ads - Best PTC Sites Here:</b></td><td width="37%" align="left"><a href="http://moneymakeronline.eu/" TARGET="_blank"><img src="http://moneymakeronline.eu/images/banner3.gif" title="Get paid to view advertisements!
