4. júla 2026 · 1 min čítania

Bitka pri Splantze bola vojenským stretnutím medzi Grékmi a Osmanmi v kontexte revolúcie z roku 1821. Odohrala sa v Splantze alebo Spiatza Fanariou (dnešná Ammoudia v Preveze) 4. júla 1822 a skončila bez víťaza na bojisku.

Pred bitkou V polovici júna 1822 sa Kyriakoulis Mavromichalis a Ioannis Razikotsikas v sile 500 mužov z Mani a Messolonghi na príkaz predsedu exekutívy (premiéra) Alexandrosa Mavrokordatosa vylodili na kontinentálnych brehoch. Ich úlohou bolo posilniť tesne obliehané Kiafa Souliotes. Z Messolonghi ich prepravili vodné lode, ktoré viedol Nikolaos Vokos.

Malá grécka sila najprv obsadila prístav Mourtos (dnešná Sivota v Thesprotii), kde vypálila domy a zajala 150 tureckých obyvateľov oblasti, ktorých poslali loďou na Peloponéz. Obojživelná akcia vyvolala reakciu Angličanov, ktorí vtedy obsadili Iónske ostrovy a bránili Iónske more. Anglická loď, ktorá dorazila na Mourtos, požadovala, aby Mavromichalis okamžite opustil oblasť. Maniakálny náčelník, pretože sa bál vojenskej akcie...

The part where the Maniots and Mesolongi men burned the houses at Mourtos and took 150 Turkish prisoners really stuck with me. It’s wild how quickly the English showed up and told Mavromichalis to clear out. Makes you wonder what would’ve happened if the British hadn’t stepped in right then.

The burning of those houses at Mourtos does sound harsh, especially with the prisoners sent off to the Peloponnese. I always wondered if the English were more worried about their Ionian protectorate getting dragged into the fighting than anything else. Did the article say what happened to the Maniot force after they pulled out?

Mary Thomas

The English intervention does feel abrupt, almost like they were more concerned with keeping their Ionian patch quiet than with the actual fighting. Mavromichalis had already sent those prisoners off on the ships, so pulling out of Mourtos must have left a bitter taste for the Maniots. Do you think that British pressure changed the whole landing plan, or was it just a temporary setback?

Irene Wilson

The prisoners being shipped off to the Peloponnese must have been a real headache later on. I didn’t realize the English got involved that fast after the landing at Mourtos. Do you think Mavromichalis would have pushed on toward the Souliotes if the British ship hadn’t shown up?

Thomas Taylor

The English were definitely jumpy about their Ionian protectorate getting pulled in, that much is clear from how fast the ship showed up. After they pulled out of Mourtos the Maniot force linked up with local Souliote bands but never really broke the siege at Kiafa. What do you make of Mavromichalis burning the houses though, was it just standard raiding or something more?
