The 1919 Treaty of Versailles, which marked the end of World War One, was followed by four others between 1920-1923. This was because a separate treaty had to be signed with each of Germany's allies. One of those allies needed two treaties in the end, as they were successfully able to object to the first one - agreed in 1920.

1 .

Name one province of the former Ottoman Empire, which France obtained through the settlement, to become ruled under a mandate from the League of Nations.

Lebanon

Iraq

Saudi Arabia

Kuwait

All of Turkey's non-Ottoman lands were ceded by 1924 to one or other of the victorious powers, to be ruled under a League of Nations mandate or - in a few cases - to become independent states

2 .

Which Turkish leader spearheaded his country's rejection of the 1920 treaty, and forced the Allies to sign a much more generous settlement three years later?

Murad

Ocalan

Kemal

Suleiman

The Allies were wary of becoming involved in a further war, and hence they failed to protect the Greek minority in Asia Minor, which was swiftly expelled from Turkish soil. There were also bitter memories of the stout (and successful) defense put up by the Turks at Gallipoli

3 .

Austria lost substantial territory to other powers in the settlement. With which state was it forbidden to unite in the 1920 treaty?

Hungary

Switzerland

Italy

Germany

Many Austrians felt that, having lost most of their empire, they should be allowed to merge with a nearby state. Otherwise Austria seemed like a head (the capital Vienna) without a body

4 .

Hungary was compelled to give up Transylvania. Which nearby state almost doubled in size when it acquired this province?

Bulgaria

Yugoslavia

Romania

Russia

The loss of Transylvania was bitterly felt in Hungary, but its new possessor hardly felt strengthened by its new acquisition

5 .

Hungary (like Austria) lost much territory, leaving a small Magyar-state surrounded by other states possessing large Magyar minorities. Which state to the north inherited a large Hungarian population?

Czechoslovakia

Germany

Poland

Liechtenstein

It was difficult to avoid leaving ethnic minorities separated from the majority, as different races were mixed up - especially in Central and Eastern Europe. Such minorities could de-stabilise the state in which they were forced to live, and arouse resentment in the nearby homeland where they would prefer to be

6 .

Which non-Arab Muslim group, concentrated in N.E. Syria, Northern Iraq and Turkey, failed to influence the Powers to grant them their own state during this period?

Kurds

Druze

Medes

Turkomen

This group was not strong enough to challenge either re-awakened Arab nationalism or growing European imperialism in the new Middle East of the post-war era

7 .

Britain received land from Turkey, most of which later became the state of Israel. What was this mandate called from 1920 to 1948?

Palestine

The West Bank

Samaria

Galilee

The area was largely peopled by Arabs, and Britain was reluctant to let in too many Jews for fear of upsetting this Arab majority. Britain had of course announced in the Balfour Declaration of 1917 that she welcomed the establishment of a home for Jews in the Middle East

8 .

Britain was granted a second mandate in the Western Middle East, apart from the one in Palestine. By what name was this area known at first?

Jordan

Transjordan

The Sinai

Nafud

This acquisition seemed to complement the other mandated territories granted to Britain, and to complete a fair share-out of Arab lands with France

9 .

Which British war hero advised both the British government and Arab leaders, while the peace treaties were being negotiated?

General Allenby

Lawrence of Arabia

General Alexander

General Hamilton

The Arabs wanted their own states in the areas relinquished by the Turks, but Britain and France had held talks during the War over how best to carve up the Middle East between them. The awareness of large deposits of oil was a powerful motive

10 .

What was the name of the treaty signed with Bulgaria?

Trianon

Neuilly

St. Germain

Senlis

Bulgaria paid a heavy price for its alliance with the Central Powers
