Tirilye & Mudanya

How many signatures does it take to end a war? Had we asked the delegations gathered in a room of a seaside mansion in Mudanya in the autumn of 1922, they would probably all have tried to answer at once… The Armistice of Mudanya, signed on October 11, 1922, was the first great success won at the negotiating table by the delegation led by İsmet Pasha; Eastern Thrace would be recovered without a single shot fired, and the signature that silenced the guns would be set down in this quiet town.
