1920, the Allies imposed the enslaved Sevres Treaty on the defeated Turkey. Later, under the leadership of Kemal Ataturk, the Turkish people defeated the Greek army supported by Britain, forcing the allies to discuss the peace treaty with Turkey again.
During the meeting, all countries have their own purposes. The Allies tried to keep control of Turkey. Turkey strives to consolidate its victory in order to achieve national independence. Russia hopes that Turkey can gain sovereign independence to ensure its security in the Black Sea region.
The important issues discussed at the meeting are: first, Turkey's border and territory. The meeting finally confirmed Turkey's sovereignty and territorial integrity within its own territory (Anatolia). Secondly, on the issue of Turkey's foreign debt, the meeting decided that the foreign debt owed by the former Ottoman Empire should be shared by the divided countries, and Turkey still had to repay the foreign debt according to its share. The meeting once again discussed the navigation and management of the Turkish Strait.
On July 24th, 1923, the Lausanne contract was signed in Lausanne, Switzerland. The main contents of the contract include: Turkey retains its main territory and recovers Smyrna and East Thrace; Turkey has no territorial claims to Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco and Libya. For the losses and damages caused by the world war and the armed intervention of the allies in Turkey, the two sides gave up their demands for money; Cancel the sphere of influence of France and Italy in Asia Minor and the consular jurisdiction of European countries in Turkey.
The signing of the Treaty of Lausanne freed Turkey from the bondage of the Treaty of Seville and gained independence within its own territory.
