Austria lost land to Italy, Romania Czechoslovakia and Serbia (Yugoslavia). The Austrian army was reduced to 30,000 men and no navy was allowed. Union with Germany was forbidden.

Conclusion
An independent Armenian State was to be created. The Allies could keep troops in Turkey to ensure the treaty was obeyed. The Turks were so outraged by the terms of the Treat of S�vres that the Sultan's government was overthrown in an uprising. Italy gained land and Britain and France were allocated mandates. The Turks rebelled the treaty and there was an uprising led by Mustapha Kemal. Rather than fighting Kemal, the Allies agreed to amend the Treaty of S�vres. This led to the signing of the Treat of Lausanne in July 1923. In the Treaty of Lausanne Turkey recovered Smyrna and Eastern Thrace from Greece. All foreign troops left Turkey. Turkey regained control over the Straits. No limits were placed on Turkey's armed forces. Sayan Dutta Chowdhury 9C ?? ?? ?? ?? 1 ...read more.
