**Manisa olovi-**Turkiyaning Manisa shahrida 1922-yil 5-sentabr seshanbaga oʻtar kechasi boshlangan va 8-sentabrgacha davom etgan yondirilishini nazarda tutadi. Yong'in 1919-1922-yillardagi Grek-Turkiya urushi paytida chekinayotgan Ellin armiyasi  tomonidan boshlangan va buning natijasida shahardagi binolarning 90 foizi vayron bo'lgan. AQSh konsuli Jeyms Loder Park tomonidan shahar va unga tutash mintaqadagi qurbonlar soni bir necha mingga teng deb hisoblangan. Turk manbalari Manisa shahrida 4355 kishining halok bo'lganini bildirmoqda.

 Yong'in oldidan Manisaning ko'rinishi. Surat janubdan shimoliy yo'nalishda olingan va *Cami-i Kebir* mahallasi atrofidagi hududni Sulton va Muradiye imperator Usmonli masjidlari oldida aks ettiradi. Ushbu masjidlar atrofidagi kichik hudud yong‘indan saqlab qolingan.
Manisa Gʻarbiy Anadoluda, 15-asrda Usmonlilar imperiyasi tarkibiga kirgan Sipilus togʻining shimoliy tomoni ostidagi tarixiy shaharchadir. Usmonlilar hukmronligi davrida shahar bir necha shahzodalar tomonidan boshqarilgan va shuning uchun u "shahzodalar shahri" (Shehzadeler şehri) sifatida ham nom qozongan. Keyingi bir necha asrlarda Usmonli meʼmorchiligining koʻplab namunalari qurilgan, masalan, 1586-yilda mashhur meʼmor Mimar Sinan tomonidan loyihalashtirilgan Muradiye masjidi va shahar hokimi hisoblangan Murod III uchun qurilgan.

19-asrga kelib Manisa Anadoluning Egey mintaqasidagi eng yirik shaharlardan biriga aylangan va shu paytda yongʻindan oldingi aholi soni 35 000 dan 50 000 gacha boʻlganligi taxmin qilinmoqda. Manisa diniy va etnik jihatdan xilma-xil aholi musulmonlar, nasroniylar va yahudiylardan iborat edi, lekin turk musulmonlari eng katta guruh hisoblangan. 19-asrda boshqa guruhlar, ayniqsa yunonlar ko'paydi. 1865- yilda inglizlar aholisi 40 000 kishini tashkil etsa, yunonlar 5000, armanlar 2000 va yahudiylar 2000 ta bo'lgan. 1898-yilda Usmonli tilshunosi Sami Bey aholini 36 252 kishi deb hisoblagan, shundan 21 000 musulmon, 10 400 yunonlar va 2 000 armanlardan iborat bo'lgan.

Birinchi jahon urushidan so'ng, Ittifoqchi kuchlar tomonidan qo'llab-quvvatlangan Gretsiya "Smirna hududi" deb nomlanuvchi hududni bosib olishga va keyinchalik Gretsiya tarkibiga qo'shilishni reja qildi. Bu rejaga muvofiq 1919-yil 15-mayda yunon qoʻshinlari (ittifoqchilar koʻmagi bilan) Smirnaga tushdi va shahar 26-mayda qurolli qarshiliklarsiz bosib olindi. Uch yillik yunon istilosi davrida mahalliy turklar tomonidan yaxshi emas muomaladan shikoyatlar boʻlgan. Yunon bosqinidan keyingi Yunoniston-Turkiya urushi davrida turklar ham, yunonlar ham qo'pol urush qilgan..
