The Treaty of Lausanne (French : Traité de Lausanne ) was a peace treaty negotiated during the Lausanne Conference of 1922–23 and signed in the Palais de Rumine ,^{[1] [2]} Lausanne , Switzerland , on 24 July 1923. The treaty officially settled the conflict that had originally existed between the Ottoman Empire and the Allied French Republic , British Empire , Kingdom of Italy , Empire of Japan , Kingdom of Greece , and the Kingdom of Romania since the onset of World War I .^[3] The original text of the treaty is in French .^[3] It was the result of a second attempt at peace after the failed and unratified Treaty of Sèvres , which aimed to divide Ottoman lands. The earlier treaty had been signed in 1920, but later rejected by the Turkish national movement who fought against its terms. As a result of Greco-Turkish War , İzmir was retrieved and Armistice of Mudanya was signed in October 1922.^{[4] [3]} It provided for the Greek-Turkish population exchange and allowed unrestricted civilian passage through the Turkish Straits (but not military; this would happen with the Montreux Convention ).
