The Armistice of Mudros was signed between the Ottoman Empire and the allies, in the Mudros port in the island of Lemnos on 30 October 1918.
This armistice ended the middle-eastern part of the First World War and the Ottomans had to renounce all of their empire, with the exception of Anatolia and giving up to all their garrisons in Hedjaz, Yemen, Syria, Mesopotamia, Tripolitania and Cirenaica. The allies occupied the area around the straits of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus, Batum and the tunnels of the Tauros Mountains and had the right to occupy six provinces with Armenian populations in north-eastern Anatolia in case of disorder, as well as any strategic point which mattered to the security of the Allies.
In the Caucasus, Turkey had to retreat to within its pre-war borders, losing the possessions occupied directly or via means of puppet governments, i.e. the regions of Adjaria, (Batum), Akhaltsikhe, Kars, Ardahan and Azerbaijan.
The treaty of Sevres (1920) which included the creation of Kurdistan and the Greater Armenia would have further greatly diminished the territories controlled by the Turks, but the treaty was not enacted due to the rebellion of the nationalists led by Kemal Atatürk.
