  • Italy and the Treaty of Lausanne of 1923

    Italy and the Treaty of Lausanne of 1923

    1993] ıTALY AND LAUSANNE 65 ITALY AND THE TREATY OF LAUSANNE OF 1923 MARIA ANTONIA DI CASOLA Recent Italian historical studies concur in saying that one cannot talk of "Fascist" foreign policy before the end of the tvventies. It is true that Fascism came to power in October 1922. But until 1929 Italian foreign policy was decidedly subordinated in Mussolini's strategy to domestic and financial considerations.1 There were two kinds of reasons: a subjective one which aimed to see Fascism grow stronger at home; and an objective one, which concerned the stagnation of the international scene not allowing much flexibility avvay from the mainly traditional foreign policy Mussolini had to follow in this period. It is also true that, at the very beginning, Mussolini was thought to have considered Fascism as a legitimizing ideology for his foreign policy.2 A change in this situation occurred, on account of the great economic crisis (1929). A more dynamic foreign policy was needed to bolster economic policies aiming at new markets for Italy in the Danubian-Balkan region. This is why although the Treaty of Lausanne of July 24, 1923, falls into the Fascist era, one cannot think of it as revealing a precisely Fascist foreign policy. Italian action in Lausanne should be interpreted as reflecting a number of "traditional" interests, essentially aimed to safeguard the rights of Italy on the "Dodecanneso". 1 Renzo de Felice, Mussolini il Duce: Gli anni del consenso, 1929-1936, Torino, Einaude, 1974, p. 323. 2Ennio di Nolfo, Mussolini e la politica estera italiana: 1919- 1939, Padova, Cedam, 1960, p.

    The Italian Military Presence in Anatolia (1919-1922)

    The Italian military presence in Anatolia (1919-1922) The chronicle of an Italian disenchanted expansionistic attempt Michael Malinconi More than a century ago, a young Italy, still exhausted from the sacrifice plaid in War World I, occupied militarily the southern Anatolic peninsula. The operation revealed the future Italian Mediterranean strategies: clumsy, without a clear aim, doomed to failure and to a non-honourable withdraw without gains. Premises The Ottoman Empire's destiny after WWI appeared regulated by many agreements between the Allies during the war: The Treaty of London (1915), in which Italy negotiated, as a reward for its intervention beside the Triple Entente, as well as the regions of Trentino-Alto Adige, Venezia Giulia and few territories of Dalmatia, even the port of Antalya and its contiguous territories with important coal basins. As stated by Article 9 of the Treaty: “Generally speaking, France, Great Britain and Russia recognise that Italy is interested in the maintenance of the balance of power in the Mediterranean and that, in the event of the total or partial partition of Turkey in Asia, she ought to obtain a just share of the Mediterranean region adjacent to the province of Antalya, where Italy has already acquired rights and interests which formed the subject of an Italo-British convention. The zone which shall eventually be allotted to Italy shall be delimited, at the proper time, due account being taken of the existing interests of France and Great Britain. The interests of Italy shall also be taken into consideration in the event of the territorial integrity of the Turkish Empire being maintained and of alterations being made in the zones of interest of the Powers.

Until 3rd of March in 1918, which was the date when Treaty of Brest Litovsk was signed, the region was under the control of Russia. The region was excluded from the Ottoman lands once again after signing Armistice of Mudros which marked the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in World War I. From Armistice of Mudros until Treaty of Alexandropol signed on the 2nd and 3rd of December in 1920, which was during National War of Independence, the region was not dominated. With Treaty of Alexandropol and Treaty of Kars, signed on 13th of October in 1921, the region was included in Turkish lands once again. Treaty of Alexandropol was signed following Eastern Operation II that took place in the Eastern Front of National War of Independence. Armenians accepted Misak-ı Milli [National Pact] via Treaty of Alexandropol. However, the treaty was a still-born treaty as Bolsheviks did not recognize this it. Treaty of Kars, signed on 13th of October in 1921, is still effective. Treaty of Kars symbolizes the agreement between Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia on Misak-ı Milli.

    The Armistice of Mudanya Marks a Defining Moment in Securing Peace for the Near East Region and an Independent Future for the Turkish State

    Raphael Avalos, Michelle B. Milton Republic of Turkey HIST402A October 19, 2015 The Armistice of Mudanya marks a defining moment in securing peace for the Near East region and an independent future for the Turkish state. Our victory in this war of independence is absolute, and we must take the next step and assume our deserved position in the world.1 The Grand National Assembly will conclude the restoration of Turkish dignity: the Treaty of Sevres must take its rightful place in history as an inconsequential agreement, and we reaffirm our intention to complete the reunification and establishment of a sovereign Turkish homeland. The Turkish delegation will seek the invalidation of the Treaty’s clauses, with a particular focus on the clauses regarding the ownership of our historic city of Istanbul, Eastern Thrace, the Straits, and economic, military, and social policy.2 The sovereign state of Turkey condemns the inexcusable actions of the Greeks in Anatolia, and calls upon all parties of the Armistice to supervise the withdrawal of the Greek army from Eastern Thrace and ensure their pledge is upheld. Emphasizing our merited independence, The Grand National Assembly has earned the right to determine its own policy without foreign influence, and therefore resolves to terminate all capitulations that have been granted, and to define military policy and the status of minorities. Furthermore, recognizing our ties to the former Ottoman Empire, we are open to the negotiation of the empire’s remaining debt. The sovereign state of Turkey is prepared to cooperate with all parties of the Conference that are motivated to secure a stable Near East with an independent Turkish state.

    1 2 3 4 ABSTRACT THE SOVIET ATTITUDE TOWARDS TURKEY 1923-1929 ZALYAEV, Ramil Ph. D., Department of International Relations Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hakan Kırımlı September 2002 This doctoral dissertation deals with the official Soviet attitude towards Turkey during the years between 1923-1929. It is the aim of this dissertation to elicit the objectives of the Turkish and Soviet foreign policy towards each other during the period in question, and to ascertain what factors played a role in the determination of those policy objectives. During the period between 1923 - 1929, the contiguity of the Turkish territory to the USSR, as well as internal and external weakness of the Soviets, were factors that determined the Soviet policy objectives towards Turkey. The Soviet government desired Turkey to be the State with a friendly manner towards the USSR. Besides, it wished that Turkey would not take part in aggressions against the USSR, and not allow other powers to use the Turkish territory as a springboard for an attack on the USSR. The Soviet government supposed that a friendly Turkey would be a factor of security for the USSR. The USSR was also of great importance for Turkey. The Turkish government aimed at preserving the Turkish national state within certain national boundaries and intended to consolidate its military victory by economic reconstruction of the country. The Turkish government was in need of time in order to recover the economy of the 5 country and to consolidate the regime. Proceeding from this, it was its foreign policy priority to prevent any aggression against Turkey.

Years of misrule, war, and oppression of its various nationalities had virtually driven the Turks from Europe, leaving the weakened Empire on the verge of collapse. By the 1870s the Armenians were the most troubling group, having gained international sympathy at the Congress of Berlin.
