Question

WRITE THE SHORT NOTE ON "TREATY OF sevres

Answer 1

The Treaty of Sèvres (French: Traité de Sèvres) was one of a series of treatiesthat the Central Powers signed after their defeat in World War I. Hostilities had already ended with the Armistice of Mudros. The treaty was signed on 10 August 1920, in an exhibition room at the Manufacture nationale de Sèvresporcelain factory in Sèvres, FranceThe Sèvres treaty marked the beginning of the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire, and its dismemberment. The terms it stipulated included the renunciation of all non-Turkish territory and its cession to the Alliedadministration. Notably, the ceding ofEastern Mediterranean lands allowed the creation of new forms of government, including Mandatory Palestine and the French Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon.

The terms of the treaty stirred hostility and nationalist feeling amongst Turks. The signatories of the treaty were stripped of their citizenship by the Grand National Assembly led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk,and this ignited theTurkish War of Independence. In that war, Atatürk led the Turkish nationalists to defeating the combined armies of the signatories of the Treaty of Sèvres, including the remnants of the Ottoman Empire. In a new treaty, that ofLausanne in 1923, Turkish sovereignty was preserved through the establishment of the Republic of Turkey.
