Document Summary
After world war i the ottoman empire emerged as the losers of the war alongside germany, the austro-hungarian empire and bulgaria. After their loss the ottomans were forced to sign a treaty known as the treaty of sevres. The treaty of lausanne was signed on july 24, 1923. It was signed after the treaty of sevres was annulled. The treaty of lausanne was much more favorable to turkey than the treat of. The treaty of sevres signed on the 10th of august 1920. The victors of the war had split up the middle east before the war had even finished. Because of the allies inconsideration while drawing up the borders of the broken ottoman empire they planted the seeds of future turmoil in the region. The treaty of sevres virtually destroyed any prospect of a separate country in the ottoman empire (turkey. )
