30 ottob 1918 anni - The Armistice of Mudros

Descrizione:

The Armistice of Mudros, signed on October 30, 1918, marked the conclusion of hostilities in the Middle Eastern theater of World War I between the Ottoman Empire and the Allies. This agreement was reached on board the HMS Agamemnon in Moudros harbor on the island of Lemnos. Rauf Bey, the Ottoman Minister of Marine Affairs, and British Admiral Somerset Arthur Gough-Calthorpe were the signatories. Key terms of the armistice included the surrender of Ottoman garrisons outside Anatolia, granting the Allies control over the Dardanelles and the Bosporus straits, and allowing for the occupation of any Ottoman territory to maintain security. This armistice effectively demobilized the Ottoman military and opened up strategic locations such as ports and railways for Allied use. It set the stage for the subsequent occupation of Istanbul and the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire, leading eventually to the establishment of modern Turkey post the Turkish War of Independence.
