The Battle of the Gediz was fought between the Turkish Kuva-yi Milliye forces and the Greek forces near the Gediz River in the city of Gediz.
•
Although the battle temporarily stopped the Greek advance towards Ankara, it also showed that the irregular forces lacked discipline and experience; they had little chance in open field battles against the Greeks.
•
The experiences gained in this battle led the Turkish provisional Government of the Grand National Assembly to the conclusion that it would be necessary from now on to establish and fight with a regular army against the Greek army instead of irregular forces.
