Summary
The Conference and Treaty of Lausanne offer invaluable insights into the state of the world, Europe, and the Middle East at a crossroads in the early 1920s. Main lines drawn in this last settlement of the Paris-Geneva peace system have for a century defined the post-Ottoman space, Western relations with post-Ottoman countries, political behaviors, and far-reaching paradigms of “conflict resolution.” There was the challenge of “world peace,” as repeatedly invoked. Understandably, Lausanne failed to meet this almost utopian challenge.
