Treaty of Sevres?

Because the Treaty of Sevres was never implemented as it was followed by the final disintegration of the Ottoman Empire and the creation by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk of the new republic of Turkey . The Treaty of Sevres was replaced by the Treaty of Lausanne ( July 1923 ), in which Palestine , Transjordan , and Iraq were to be mandated to Britain , and Syria to France . Italy was accepted as possessing the Dodecanese Islands , while Turkey regained Smyrna from Greece .

Edit

The Treaty of Sevres , signed between the Allies and Turkey , effectively marked the end of the Ottoman Empire . Adrianople and most of the hinterland to Constantinople were ceded to Greece , the Bosporus was internationalized and demilitarized , a short lived Armenia was created, Syria became a French mandate , and Britain accepted the mandate for Iraq , Palestine , and Transjordan . The treaty was rejected by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk , he secured a redefinition of Turkey`s borders by the new Treaty of Lausanne . Britain`s mandate remained the same under both treaties

In reply to your comment , The overriding factor behind Britain`s decision to accept the Mandate for Palestine and Transjordan was control of the Suez Canal and to keep the French at a safe distance from it . Britain gained far more than just territory , the canal was of vital importance to British trade routes Suez was of strategic and economical importance , Britain gained far more than France , Italy

Agreements had been made with France,Italy,and Greece about the dismemberment of Anatolia before the war was over - to have ignored them and gone back on agreed treaties would have made Britain look bad with its allies and internationally.
