25 apr 1920 anni - San Remo conference

Descrizione:

The San Remo conference, held from April 19 to 26, 1920, at Castle Devachan in Sanremo, Italy, was a key post-World War I meeting where the Allied Supreme Council decided on the fate of former Ottoman territories in the Middle East. This included the establishment of League of Nations mandates for "Palestine," "Syria," and "Mesopotamia," with their boundaries to be determined later by the principal Allied powers. The conference attendees included representatives from Britain, France, Italy, and Japan, with the United States participating as an observer.

The conference aimed to formalize the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire and set up administrative frameworks for the mandated territories under the guidance of the League of Nations until they could govern themselves independently. Key decisions included the recognition of provisional independence for Syria and Mesopotamia, with Britain and France overseeing their administration, and the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine as outlined in the Balfour Declaration. These decisions were formalized in the San Remo Resolution of April 25, 1920, and later influenced the drafting of the Treaty of Sèvres. The outcomes of San Remo significantly shaped the geopolitical landscape of the modern Middle East.
