Records relating to the Treaty of Sèvres, 1920

Records relating to the Treaty of Sèvres, 1920

Collection: Paris Peace Conference and Beyond, 1919-1939    Volumes    Records relating to the Treaty of Sèvres, 1920
Most historians would agree that the Treaty of Sèvres marked the beginning of the end for the Ottoman Empire. Its architects oversaw the sundering of non-Turkish provinces and the imposition of strict military and economic restrictions. This volume contains a breadth of information from the Foreign Office on the treaty and its discontents, revealing the reasons for its eventual failure. Subjects covered include the Allied occupation of Ottoman territory in the immediate aftermath of the war and the scramble by European states, both old and new, to fill the gap left by the once mighty Empire. ‘Maps Relating to the Boundaries of the Ottoman Empire and Turkey, 1916-1923 (iii)’ provides an especially fascinating insight into this carve up and includes a copy of the (in)famous Sykes-Picot Agreement, the repercussions of which continue to be felt to this day.
