Maritime security profoundly influences state sovereignty, territorial integrity, and economic stability. This study highlights the critical role naval power played during the Balkan Wars (1912-1913), emphasizing how Greece’s naval dominance significantly contributed to the Ottoman Empire's territorial losses in the Eastern Aegean. Greece's effective maritime blockade and strategic island occupations underscore naval superiority's decisive impact. The Ottoman Empire's failure to strengthen its naval capabilities due to internal disagreements and financial constraints further intensified its vulnerability. Historical analysis reveals naval power as a vital component of national defense, illustrating contemporary implications for Türkiye’s maritime strategy and defense policy in the Aegean.
