Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'ne Giden Yolda Mondros Mütarekesi, İşgaller ve Türk Millî Mücadelesi'ndeki Siyasi Çözüm Düşüncesi.

The First World War, which was entered with the aspirations of reviving, keeping alive and even enlarging the Ottoman Empire, resulted in the Armistice of Moudros, signed on October 30, 1918, which led to an invasion period under the control of the Entente Powers. Thus, according to the European States, it has come to the point of striking the final blow for the ambitions of penetrating or breaking up the Ottoman Empire. In this study, the thoughts of a political solution pursued by both Istanbul and Ankara during the Armistice period, the consequences of what has been achieved and what cannot be achieved from political initiatives have been focused. Subsequently, the process of transformation of the reactions to the invasions into the National Struggle and then into the Republic as a new Turkish State has been examined. The aim is to show whether the search for a non-war solution was pursued by the Turkish side through diplomacy at every stage and at every opportunity from signing of the Armistice to the signing of the Lausanne Peace Treaty, rather than the narrative that only one war was fought, a victory was won and a republic was established while the National Struggle was being considered, and whether efforts were being made for peace rather than war. The study is discussed under the following headings: developments in Istanbul during the period of October 1918-May 1919, the occupation of Izmir which sparked the National Struggle, Mustafa Kemal Pasha's departure to Samsun, the first messages to the World, the Allied Powers and the Capital: Havza and Amasya Circulars, decisive steps towards full independence: Erzurum and Sivas Congresses, the last Ottoman Parliament, the Constituent Assembly and the National Pact, Sevres, National Struggle and diplomacy in the triangle of Ankara-Istanbul-Entente States, Lausanne Peace Treaty and the last heading the product of blood, pain, sacrifice, heroism and wars: the Republic. Within the scope of this plan, although a chronological order is followed in general, some returns have been made from time to time in order to focus on the idea of a political solution in terms of content, especially in the sub-title of war and diplomacy.
