Global 1923 and the Treaty of Lausanne - Peace, Imperialism, and the Eastern Question

The Global 1923 and the Treaty of Lausanne looks at one of the twentieth century's most controversial international agreements that settled the long great war of the Eastern Mediterranean.
> The volume discusses the role of imperialism and the Eastern Question discourse at the Lausanne Peace Conference, and reassesses the different strategies pursued by the delegations involved in the 1923 conference. Though the Soviets were only allowed to be part in settling one issue at the Conference, The Global 1923 highlights the Turco-Soviet relations that shaped the settlement. In a similar vein, the Kurdish, Armenian and Arab grievances that sprouted out of the Great War and were neglected at Lausanne constitute some of the contested and intricate issues in Middle Eastern politics. The American influence, even if the US delegation had only an observer status, is addressed in a broader political economical setting. The Global 1923 reveals how the entanglement and the contestation at Lausanne continues to inform our contemporary politics today.
