The Treaty of Sevres, august 1920 - Turkey

• Disarmament - army restricted to 50,000 men. Only 6 torpedo boats were allowed and no airforce .

As well as losing a substantial amount of territory, parts of Turkey were defined as zones of influence , controlled by the British, French or Italians. Turkeys tax system, finances and budget were controlled by the allies. The turks were humiliated and angered by the treaty as they had long been a proud, great empire.

The Treaty of Lausanne, 1923 - Turkey (again)

The main points of the treaty were the following:

• Turkey confirmed the loss of it’s provinces in the middle east.

• Turkey received back most of its European territory.

• The dardanelles strait was to return to Turkish sovereignty

• Restrictions on armed forces were removed

• Turkey was no longer to pay reparations

Eventually the changes that the Turks had brought about were recognised in the treaty of Lausanne. Smyrna, Anatolia and parts of Thrace became Turkish lands. Turkey’s borders were fixed more or less as they are today.
