Özet
Despite its crucial place in the history of international relations in general, and that of Turkey in particular, the Lausanne Peace Conference of 1922-1923 has rarely been the subject of scholarly investigation. In particular, the factors influencing the attitude of the delegations, the instructions they received from their respective foreign ministries and the process offormulating their strategies remain to be investigated. Here, we shall describe the negotiating strategies and diplomatic relations between Turkey and Britain, focusing on the irreconcilable aims ofBritain and Turkey concerning the fate of Mosul Vilayet during the first phase of the Conference. Events occurring between the breakdown of the conference and its re-opening will be investigated and finally the negotiations before the issue was taken to the League of Nations examined. © 2010 British Society of Middle Eastern Studies.
