This presentation will address the collapse of the Ottoman Empire following World War I. We will discuss the Treaty of Sevres and how Mustafa Kemal rallied the Grand National Assembly to not only expel European Armies from Anatolia but to overthrow their own Ottoman Government, concluding with the Treaty of Lausanne of 1923.

The Turkish War of Independence (19 May 1919 – 24 July 1923) was a series of military campaigns waged by the Turkish National Movement after parts of the Ottoman Empire were occupied and partitioned following its defeat in World War I. These campaigns were directed against Greece in the west, Armenia in the east, France in the south, loyalists and separatists in various cities, and British and Ottoman troops around Constantinople (İstanbul).[59] Simultaneously, the Turkish nationalist movement carried out massacres and deportations in order to eliminate native Christian populations—a continuation of the Armenian genocide and other ethnic cleansing operations during World War I. These campaigns resulted in the creation of the Republic of Turkey.
