Το Ολοκαύτωμα Της Κάσου 1824

<p><strong>Η Καταστροφή της Κάσου:</strong></p> <p> Το 1824, ο Σουλτάνος Μαχμούτ συμμάχησε με τον Μοχάμετ Άλι της Αιγύπτου για να καταπνίξει την Ελληνική Επανάσταση. Ο γιος του Μοχάμετ Άλι, Ιμπραήμ, συγκέντρωσε μια μεγάλη εκστρατευτική δύναμη και στόλο. Αφού κατέπνιξε την επανάσταση στην Κρήτη, οι Αιγύπτιοι κινήθηκαν εναντίον της Κάσου, ένα στρατηγικά τοποθετημένο θαλάσσιο νησί που είχε βοηθήσει την εξέγερση των Κρητών. Η ελληνική κυβέρνηση δεν ήταν σε θέση να στείλει τον στόλο της λόγω έλλειψης πόρων, αφήνοντας το νησί απροστάτευτο.</p> <p><br></p> <p> Τη νύχτα της 28ης προς 29η Μαΐου, οι Αιγύπτιοι πραγματοποίησαν μια προσποιητή επίθεση στη βόρεια ακτή του νησιού, ενώ μια μικρή δύναμη αποβιβάστηκε απαρατήρητη σε άλλο σημείο. Οι Κασιώτες πολέμησαν ηρωικά αλλά, αναπόφευκτα, ηττήθηκαν. Ακολούθησε μια φοβερή σφαγή. Το νησί καταστράφηκε, πάνω από 2.000 άνθρωποι σκοτώθηκαν ή σκλαβώθηκαν. Η καταστροφή της Κάσου ήταν ένα από τα πιο τραγικά γεγονότα της Ελληνικής Επανάστασης.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Μαζί με την καταστροφή των Ψαρών που ακολούθησε, ήταν ένα σοβαρό πλήγμα για τους Έλληνες, οι οποίοι τώρα έπρεπε να πολεμήσουν και το αιγυπτιακό ναυτικό.</p> <p><br></p> <p> Μετά την καταστροφή του νησιού των Ψαρών τον Ιούνιο και την αποχώρηση προς τη Λέσβο, ο Μεγάλος Ναύαρχος Χουσρέφ Πασάς οδήγησε τον οθωμανικό στόλο εναντίον της Σάμου, αποπλέοντας στις 28 Ιουλίου. Με δύο μοίρες, με επικεφαλής τον Γεώργιο Σαχτούρη και τον Ανδρέα Μιαούλη, ο ελληνικός στόλος κινήθηκε να εμποδίσει την προέλασή τους.</p> <p><br></p> <p> Μετά από αψιμαχίες για αρκετές ημέρες, οι δύο στόλοι πολέμησαν την αποφασιστική μάχη στις 5 Αυγούστου, ανοικτά του νησιού της Σάμου. Τα ελληνικά πυρπολικά, υπό τη διοίκηση του Κωνσταντίνου Κανάρη, κατάφεραν να κάψουν τρία εχθρικά πλοία. Υπό βαρύ κανονιοβολισμό από τα ελληνικά πλοία, ο Χουσρέφ Πασάς αναγκάστηκε να υποχωρήσει. Η Ναυμαχία της Σάμου, μαζί με τη Ναυμαχία του Γέροντα που ακολούθησε στις 29 Αυγούστου, έσωσαν τα νησιά της Σάμου και της Ικαρίας και ήταν μια σημαντική νίκη για τους Έλληνες.</p> <p><br></p> <p> Ένας από τους Κασιώτες ναύτες του Γεώργιου Σαχτούρη, ένας άνδρας με το όνομα Γεώργιος Ζίσης, απέκτησε έναν γιο κατά τη διάρκεια αυτών των μαχών, ο οποίος αργότερα θα γινόταν ο Άρχων Θεόδωρος &quot;Χατζής&quot; Κασώτης, ηγεμόνας των νησιών της Ικαρίας και των Φούρνων και ιδρυτής του ικαριακού κλάδου των Κασωτάτων. </p> <p><br></p> <p><em><strong>Έτσι, η οικογένειά μας γεννήθηκε από τις στάχτες της Κάσου και της Ελληνικής Επανάστασης.</strong></em></p>

The Kasos Massacre of 1824

<p><strong>The Kasos Massacre:</strong></p> <p>In 1824, Sultan Mahmud allied with Muhammad Ali of Egypt to suppress the Greek Revolution. Muhammad Ali’s son, Ibrahim, mustered a large expeditionary force and fleet. After putting down the rebellion in Crete, the Egyptians moved against Kasos, a strategically located maritime island that had assisted the Cretans’ revolt. The Greek government was unable to send its fleet due to lack of funds, leaving the island undefended.</p> <p><br></p> <p>On the night of 28 to 29 May, the Egyptians staged a feigned attack on the northern coast of the island, while a small disembarkation force managed to land unobserved at another site. The Kasians fought heroically but were, inevitably, defeated. A terrible massacre ensued; the island was devastated, over 2,000 people were killed or enslaved. The destruction of Kasos was one of the most tragic events of the Greek Revolution.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Along with the destruction of Psara that followed, it was a serious setback for the Greeks, who now also had to fight the Egyptian navy.</p> <p><br></p> <p>After devastating the island of Psara in June and retiring to Lesbos, Grand Admiral Hüsrev Pasha led the Ottoman fleet against Samos, sailing off on 28 July. With two squadrons, led by Georgios Sachtouris and Andreas Miaoulis, the Greek fleet moved to block their way forward.</p> <p><br></p> <p>After skirmishing for several days, the two fleets fought the decisive battle on 5 August, off the island of Samos. The Greek fireships, commanded by Konstantinos Kanaris, managed to burn three enemy ships. Under heavy cannon fire from the Greek ships, Hüsrev Pasha was forced to retreat. The battle of Samos, along with the battle of Gerontas that followed on 29 August, saved the islands of Samos and Icaria and was a major victory for the Greeks.</p> <p><br></p> <p>One of the Kasian sailors of Georgios Sachtouris, a man named Georgios Zisis fathered a son during those battles who would go on to become Arconte Theodoros &quot;Haji&quot; Kassotis, the ruler of the islands of Icaria and Fourni and the founder of the Icarian branch of our clan. </p> <p><br></p> <p><em><strong>And thus our family was born from the ashes of Kasos and the Greek Revolution.</strong></em></p>
