Early life
In Karataş, a suburb of Smyrna (now zmir, Turkey), Aristotle Socrates Onassis was born in 1906, a young suburb of Anatolia's port city of Socrates, to Socrates Onassis and Penelope Dologou. Following Penelope's death (1912), Aristotle had one sister, Artemis, and two half-sisters, Kalliroi and Merope, by his father's second marriage. Socrates Onassis became a very wealthy shipping entrepreneur and sent his children to prestigious colleges. He spoke four languages when Aristotle graduated from the local Evangelical Greek School at the age of 16, including Greek (his native language), Turkish, Spanish, and English.
Smyrna was briefly ruled by Greece (1919192-22222) in the aftermath of World War I's victory, but Smyrna was re-taken by Turkey in the Greco-Turkish War (1919–22). Following the Great Fire of Smyrna in 1922, the Onassis family's substantial land holdings were lost, prompting them to flee to Greece. During this period, Onassis lost three uncles, an aunt, Chrysostomos Konialidis, and their daughter, who were charred to death in a church in Akhisar, where 500 Christians were seeking refuge from the Great Fire of Smyrna. The Onassis family was devastated by the Asia Minor disaster in 1922. His father went to prison, and his company was re-established in the hands of the Turks. The remainder of the family escaped to Greece, where they were forced to stay in an outdoor camp with all other refugees.
Onassis returned to Constantinople with $250 in his purse in 1923. Following research in commerce and port-duty administration at Aduanas Argentinas, he arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentina, by Nansen passport and started his first job as a telephone operator with the British River Plate Telephone Company in August. He later became a successful exporter of English-Turkish tobacco to Argentina, opening an Argentina import-export company and making a fortune by exporting English-Turkish tobacco to Argentina. In 1929, he obtained citizenship in Argentina. He later established Astilleros Onassis, Argentina's first shipping brokerage firm. He grew his shipping company globally and then relocated to New York City, United States, where he established his shipping empire while still holding offices in Buenos Aires and Athens. His legacy in Buenos Aires was the establishment of a shipping empire and a Hellenic Culture Fund that also supports youth scholarships and an international exchange program between Argentina, Greece, Monaco, and the United States; the initiatives were later under the supervision of his daughter Christina Onassis.
