treaty of lausanne

The Treaty of Lausanne was a treaty that set the boundaries of modern Turkey. It was signed in Lausanne, Switzerland on July 24, 1923 by Greece, Turkey and other countries (including the Allied Powers) that fought in the First World War and in the Turkish Independence War / War in Asia Minor, 1919-1922. It superseded the Treaty of Svres which had been rendered as "unacceptable" by the newly founded Turkish government replacing the monarchy in Istanbul. After the expulsion of the Greek forces by the Turkish army under the command of Kemal Atatrk, there appeared to be a need to renew Treaty of Svres. In October 20th, 1922 the peace conference was opened, and after harsh debates, in February, 4th it was interrupted. Reopening in April, 23rd the treaty was signed in July, 24th after a total of 8 months of long and arduous discussions.
