The Treaty of Sevres decrees a French mandate over Syria and Lebanon and a British mandate over Palestine.

The enforcing of the terms of the Treaty sparks nationalistic uprisings in Turkey. Ottoman rule ends. Mustapha Kemal rejects the legitimacy of the Treaty and leads a successful military insurrection.

Rejected by the new Turkish nationalist regime, the Treaty of Sèvres was replaced by the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923.
