This armistice ended the war and the Ottomans had to renounce to all the Empire, with the exception of Anatolia and giving up to all its guarnisons in Hedjaz, Yemen, Syria, Mesopotamia, Tripolitania and Cirenaica. The allies occupied the area around the straits of Dardaneles and Bosphorus, Batum and the tunels of the Tauros Mountains and had the right to occupate six proviences with Armenian population in the 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 its lines to the points they were prior to the war, losing the possesions occupated directly or via means of puppet governments, i.e. the regions of Adjaria (Batum), Akhaltsikhe, Kars, Ardahan and Azerbaijan.
The treaty of peace of Sevres (1920) which included the creation of Kurdistan and the Greater Armenia would have greatly diminished the territories controlled by the Turks, but this treaty was not completed to the rebelion of the nationalists of Kemal Atatürk.
