Lausanne Peace Treaty of 24 July 1923
The Treaty of Lausanne, signed on 24 July 1923 between Turkey and the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Japan, Greece, Romania and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, is the only treaty freely negotiated by the parties following the First World War which is still valid presently.

Jewish Salonica in 1912 and 1943
The Ottoman Salonika was once home to the largest Sephardic Jewish community in the world. They were the undisputed masters in almost all sectors of the city’s economy. The conquest of the city by Greece in 1912, however, deprived the Jews of the Turkish protection they had enjoyed for 482 years. During the war, the Jews had done what they could to resist the Greeks. During the two months following the entry of the Greek army into the city, the G…

The controversy over the delimitationof the Turco-Syrian frontier in the period between the two world wars
Communications
The Uneasy Relationship
In view of growing threat of the Axis powers, by the beginning of 1939 a security agreement with the Soviet Union came high on the list of Turkish priorities. Turkey would also co-operate with Britain in the Balkans and the Mediterranean. Ankara proposed a triangular Turco-Anglo-Soviet relationship. Turkey sought to search for the illusive Soviet connection to parallel its signing of mutual assistance agreement with Britain on 12 May 1939. But th…
Turkey's entrance into the League of Nations
This is a study on a subject that has been long neglected in both Western and Turkish scholarship. Literature on Turkey's entrance into the League of Nations is almost non-existent. The object of the present article is to detail and analyse the gradual stages in Turkey's admission to the League of Nations. After first examining the aloofness of the Turkish leadership to the Geneva institution, the article traces the developments leading to the An…
Turco-British relations on the eve of the Second World War
The First World War failed to resolve the basic conflicts among the European powers. Injustices inherent in the Versailles peace settlement only aggravated the complicated national questions which bedevilled the whole of Europe. The military, political and economic developments that followed 1918 drove the European world towards a new grouping of powers. At the beginning of the 1930s the countries of the Balkan Peninsula once more became the stag…
Turkey's Relations with Germany from the Conclusion of the Montreux Straits Convention up to the Outbreak of the Second World War
Although most frequent mention must be made of the political relations, the special emphasis in the article lays on the economic cooperation between Turkey and Germany. For commercial and financial factors played a key role in shaping the Turkish-German relations in the second half of the 1930s. Turkey came to view the dominant German grip over its economy with much anxiety and looked to other powers to assist it in breaking the Reichsmark shackl…

Turco-French Struggle for Mastery in Cilicia and the Ankara Agreement of 1921
French occupation of Cilicia following the First World War was mainly strategic and economic in character. The French committed all the errors of wicked military occupation. The Turkish Nationalists, on their part, fiercely resisted the foreign occupation of the region. By May 1920 the military weakness of the French had compelled them to surrender Maraş, Urfa and Pozantı. Defeat on battleground forced the French to conclude an armistice with the…
Turco-British Rapprochement on the Eve of the Second World War
The Italian invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 marked the beginning of a definite closeness in Turco-British relations, which were to undergo a long process of development. During the Ethiopian crisis, Turkey followed Britain in defence of the League of Nations Covenant. Firm co-operation between Turkey and Britain during the Montreux Straits Conference of 1936 further accelerated the pace of rapprochement. With King Edward VIII's visit to Turkey, just…

The Basic Principles and Practices of the Turkish Foreign Policy Under Atatürk
The basic foreign policy of Turkey under Atatürk was one of friendship with all its neighbours and non-involvement in Great Power politics. Atatürk was essentially a realist. He repudiated adventurism and expansionism. What Turkey wanted was to accomplish its internal reconstruction in peace. The major stance of Atatürk's diplomacy was not only pacific, but was also clearly respectful of law. Since the Republic of Turkey came into existence, the …
Turkish‐German relations on the eve of world war two
The author analyzes Turkish‐German relations leading up to World War Two, with a special emphasis on the economic aspects of the complicated bilateral relationship. Throughout the 1930s, Turkey grew anxious about Germany's dominant grip over its economy and looked to other powers, especially Britain, to assist it in breaking the Reichsmark shackle. In the political field, the dynamics of Turkish‐German relations often led Germany to seek a formal…
