The War for Anatolia and the Remaking of International Order : Greece, Turkey and the End of the First World War (Histories of Internationalism)

From 1919 to 1922, Greece and Turkey fought a brutal war for Anatolia that reconfigured international politics. This volume examines the international, transnational and economic dimensions of that conflict and the bitter peace that formally ended it. Bringing together a diverse group of experts drawing on multiple archives and the latest scholarship, this volume analyses the complexities of peacemaking, the foundation of new nations through the violent ‘unmixing’ of peoples, the traumas of military mobilisation, and the remarkable revival of global capitalism on the ruins of old empires. Taken together, these essays will remind readers that the Great War did not end in 1919, and that the Greek-Turkish story is a critical element in the wider reshaping of twentieth-century international order.
