RECENT PERIOD TURKISH STUDIES-YAKIN DONEM TURKIYE ARASTIRMALARI, sa.44, 2023 (ESCI)
The attempt was made to create a new balance at the end of World War I, and Turkiye gained a place in the newly established order through the Treaty of Lausanne. While spending about seven years afterward under the influence of this treaty, Turkiye succeeded in eliminating the last remaining problems thanks to Mustafa Kemal Ataturk's peaceful foreign policy. As one of the most significant of these problems, the Turkiye-Iraq border issue (i.e., the Mosul question) left its mark in 1925 and 1926.While Benito Mussolini was making plans for Anatolia over the Dodecanese Islands in 1925 within the framework of his expansionist policy, General Theodoros Panagalos, who had seized power with the military intervention he carried out in Greece during the same period and was known for his hostility towards Turks, also waited for an opportunity to realize his ambitions in Anatolia by collaborating with Mussolini. This situation turned into a tension, as Britain supported these two countries to weaken Turkiye's hand.This study will analyze the threat in the Aegean and the attitudes of Greece, Italy, and Britain towards Turkiye within the framework of Greek and British sources.
