Question

What harsh treaty did the british imposed on the turkish sultan?

Answer 1

The Treaty of Sevres was signed with the Ottoman Empire after the end of World War One. The terms of the Treaty of Sevres were harsh and many in the Ottoman Empire were left angered and embittered by their treatment.  It  was signed on August 10th 1920 after more than fifteen months was spent on drawing it up. The Treaty of Sevres  carved up the ‘Sick Man of Europe’.The treaty abolished the Ottoman Empire and obliged Turkey to renounce all rights over Arab Asia and North Africa. The pact also provided for an independent Armenia, for an autonomous Kurdistan. Rejected by the new Turkish nationalist regime, the Treaty of Sevres was replaced by the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923.
