Map showing 1917 boundary of the Ottoman Empire which was dismantled in
the post-war treaties of Sèvres (1920) and Lausanne (1923) to form Turkey,
Syria, and Iraq. Armenian territory within the Ottoman Empire was granted
independence by the first treaty but subsumed by Turkey in the second.
Modern post-Soviet Armenia occupies area in the South Caucasus seized by
Russia in the 1870s.

1918 map showing proposed post-war redistribution of Ottoman and Arabian
territory on the principal of national/ethnic self-determination – a central tenet
of the League of Nations. Syria, Jordan and Iraq were formed within the area
shown as ‘Arab Countries’ out of mandates granted to Britain and France;
attempts to create an independent Kurdistan, and an adjacent Assyrian
Christian enclave (marked ‘E’ on map), came to nothing.
