Λιμός στη Μ. Ασία, 1873-1875 (14/10/2005 v.1)
In 1873, a famine appeared in Central Asia Minor, which lasted until 1875. The basic causes of the famine was the drought of 1873 and the subsequent harsh winter. The spreading of the famine resulted in the abandonment of villages and in the paralysis of the economy of many cities. The severe famine struck a wide region in central Anatolia, killing at least 150,000 people. During the disaster, the American Protestant missionaries, already settled in Anatolia since the early decades of the nineteenth century, created effective networks of charity and saved many lives distributing relief and feeding thousands of peasants and townsmen.
