Conference Of London Of 1921–1922
The Conference of London (21 February and 12 March 1921 and March 1922, London, Great Britain) was a conference convened in order to deal with the problems resulting from the peace treaties that ended World War I, most notably the Treaty of Sèvres with the Ottoman Empire, which was militarily opposed by the Turkish National Movement. First stage To salvage the Treaty of Sèvres, a diplomatic conference was held in London between 21 February and 12 March 1921. The Triple Entente forced the nationalists to agree with the Constantinople government. Bekir Sami (Kunduh), representative of Ankara, insisted that the delegate from Constantinople could not enter the negotiations and rejected the use of Sèvres as the basis of the talks. Sèvres had been negotiated with the Ottoman Empire, not with the nationalist movement of Turkey based in Ankara. Second stage Another meeting in London was held in March 1922. The Allies, without considering the extent of Ankara's successes, hoped t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The war put the military and political personnel of Greece to test in an official open war for the first time since the Greek War of Independence in 1821.

People From Andros
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
