The Allies abandoned the Treaty of S. The Treaty of Lausanne recognized the independence of the Republic of Turkey and its sovereignty over Asia Minor, Constantinople, and Eastern Thrace. Greek and Turkish governments agreed to engage in a population exchange.
Background. The Greeks received an order to land in Smyrna by the Triple Entente as part of the partition. During this war, the Ottoman government collapsed completely and the Ottoman Empire was divided amongst the victorious Entente powers with the signing of the Treaty of S. The Triple Entente had made contradictory promises about post- war arrangements concerning Greek hopes in Asia Minor. The western Allies, particularly British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, had promised Greece territorial gains at the expense of the Ottoman Empire if Greece entered the war on the Allied side. Before the occupation the Italian delegation to the Paris Peace Conference, 1. Greek occupation of Western Anatolia, left the conference and did not return to Paris until May 5.
The absence of the Italian delegation from the Conference ended up facilitating Lloyd George's efforts to persuade France and the United States to support Greece and prevent Italian operations in Western Anatolia. According to some historians, it was the Greek occupation of Smyrna that created the Turkish National movement. It was a result of the Allied policy of imperialism operating in a foreign state, the military resources and powers of which were seriously under- estimated; it was provoked by the unwarranted invasion of a Greek army of occupation. Athens, before the Population exchange between Greece and Turkey, had a population of 4. Greeks had lived in Asia Minor since antiquity, and before the outbreak of World War I, up to 2.

For example, the Young Turks were not in power at the time of the war, which makes such a justification less straightforward. Most of the leaders of that regime had fled the country at the end of World War I and the Ottoman government in Constantinople was already under British control. Furthermore, Venizelos had already revealed his desires for annexation of territories from the Ottoman Empire in the early stages of World War I, before these massacres had taken place. In a letter sent to Greek King Constantine in January 1. Toynbee blamed the policies pursued by Great Britain and Greece, and the decisions of the Paris Peace conference as factors leading to the atrocities committed by both sides during and after the war: . Lloyd George's original miscalculations at Paris. The Megali Idea was an irredentist vision of a restoration of a Greater Greece on both sides of the Aegean that would incorporate territories with Greek populations outside the borders of the Kingdom of Greece, which was initially very small.

This aspect was the recovery of Constantinople for Christendom and the reestablishment of the Christian Byzantine Empire which had fallen in 1. Sophia and the City had been handed down from generation to generation as the destiny and aspiration of the Greek Orthodox. Asia Minor was an essential part of the Greek world and an area of enduring Greek cultural dominance. The Greek city- states and later the Byzantine Empire also exercised political control of most of the region, from the Bronze Age to the 1.
Seljuk Turk raids reached it. In addition, family ties and emotional attachments made it difficult for Constantine to decide which side to support during World War I. The King's dilemma was further increased when the Ottomans and the Bulgarians, both having grievances and aspirations against the Greek Kingdom, joined the Central Powers. According to Queen Sophia, Constantine's dream of . The conditions, however, were clear: the occupation of Constantinople had to be undertaken without incurring excessive risk. Though Constantine did remain decidedly neutral, Prime Minister of Greece Eleftherios Venizelos had from an early point decided that Greece's interests would be best served by joining the Entente and started diplomatic efforts with the Allies to prepare the ground for concessions following an eventual victory. The disagreement and the subsequent dismissal of Venizelos by the King resulted in a deep personal rift between the two, which spilled over into their followers and the wider Greek society.
Greece became divided into two radically opposed political camps, as Venizelos set up a separate state in Northern Greece, and eventually, with Allied support, forced the King to abdicate. In May 1. 91. 7, after the exile of Constantine, Veniz. Greek military forces (though divided between supporters of the monarchy and supporters of . The country's foremost political formations, the Venizelist Liberals and the Royalists, already involved in a long and bitter rivalry over pre- war politics, reached a state of outright hatred towards each other.
Both parties viewed the other's actions during the First World War as politically illegitimate and treasonous. This enmity inevitably spread throughout Greek society, creating a deep rift that contributed decisively to the failed Asia Minor campaign and resulted in much social unrest in the inter war years. Greek expansion. The military operations of the Greco- Turkish war can be roughly divided into three main phases: the first phase, spanning the period from May 1. October 1. 92. 0, encompassed the Greek Landings in Asia Minor and their consolidation along the Aegean Coast. The second phase lasted from October 1.
August 1. 92. 1, and was characterised by Greek offensive operations. The third and final phase lasted until August 1. Turkish Army. Legal justifications for the landings was found in the article 7 of the Armistice of Mudros, which allowed the Allies .
The Greek army also consisted of 2,5. Armenianvolunteers. Nevertheless, the Greek landings were received by and large passively, only facing sporadic resistance, mainly by small groups of irregular Turkish troops in the suburbs. The overall strategic objective of these operations, which were met by increasingly stiff Turkish resistance, was to provide strategic depth to the defence of Izmir (Smyrna).
To that end, the Greek zone of occupation was extended over all of Western and most of North- Western Anatolia. Treaty of S. This treaty ended the First World War in Asia Minor and, at the same time, sealed the fate of the Ottoman Empire.

The Straits of Bosporus were placed under an International Commission, as they were now open to all. Turkey was furthermore forced to transfer to Greece . According to the provisions of the Treaty, Smyrna was to maintain a local parliament and, if within five years time she asked to be incorporated within the Kingdom of Greece, the provision was made that the League of Nations would hold a plebiscite to decide on such matters.
The treaty was never ratified by the Ottoman Empire. This advance began under the Liberal government of Eleftherios Venizelos, but soon after the offensive began, Venizelos fell from power and was replaced by Dimitrios Gounaris. The strategic objective of these operations was to defeat the Turkish Nationalists and force Mustafa Kemal into peace negotiations.
