Records relating to the Treaty of Lausanne, 1923

Collection: Paris Peace Conference and Beyond, 1919-1939 Volumes Records relating to the Treaty of Lausanne, 1923

The Lausanne Conference of 1922-23 was convened after Turkey reneged on the Treaty of Sèvres, the provisions of which were deemed to be unacceptable by the government of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. The subsequent accords formally settled the conflict between the Ottoman Empire and the Allied powers, defining the borders of the Turkish Republic and European colonial interests in the Middle East. This volume contains Admiralty, Air Ministry, Foreign Office, and Treasury records relating to the conference and final treaty. Subjects covered include Turkish disarmament, the demilitarisation of the Black Sea, population exchanges with Greece, population expulsions; the role played by Turkey’s regional rivals, and the influence of various political ideologies and religious minorities. As with the volume on the Treaty of Sèvres, the maps are particularly revealing.
