How a power vacuum in the Ottoman Empire ignited a new conflict
Following the armistice of Mudros, the collapse of the Ottoman Empire left a dangerous void. This video explores the early phase of the Greco-Turkish War, examining how Greek ambitions and Great Power planning reshaped the region.
After the Ottoman Empire emerged as a losing power in World War I, the armistice of Mudros created a significant power vacuum. As the empire's influence waned, the Great Powers had already drafted territorial plans for the region.
