This is what got us killed lol
It’s always a great outcome when western powers carve up a region they know nothing about.
If this came to pass, it would’ve definitely been better than being taken over by the Soviets. Armenia might’ve even joined NATO before Turkey.
No Azerbaijan?
Semi Autonomous in Turkish Mandate for İzmir? Definitely not, it was Megali Idea and rebuilding Ionia.
I think this map would have become reality if Bolshevik revolution had not happened. It was an incredibly quick and sudden turn of events. It changed everything, including how the west viewed Turkey.
A lot of context is missing on this map. This is actually the proposal of the King–Crane Commission.
The Commission visited areas of Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, and Anatolia, surveyed local public opinion, and assessed its view on the best course of action for the region based on the responses. These responses alienated the French, British, and Italian representatives because the results of the survey conflicted with their imperialist aims.
While I don’t like it since it does not contemplate an independent Assyria, it’s a much better division of the Middle East than what the Imperial Powers eventually created.
