1531728404 THE ROLE OF THE ALLIANCES’ BALKAN OPERATION IN THE SIGNATURE OF THE MONDROS ARMISTICE TREATY

The Ottoman State had to sign the Mondros Armistice Treaty on October 30, 1918. This date, the Caucasus Army in Azerbaijan under the direction of Nuri Pasha, another army under Ali Ihsan Pasha in Mosul and the Yıldırım Armies group under the command of Mustafa Kemal Pasha were also deployed to the north of Aleppo. Nevertheless, the fact that the Ottoman Empire had to sign the ceasefire agreement is why the British and French forces head to Thrace after defeating Bulgaria. The Ottoman State, unable to compensate for the disadvantages of the existing armies, did not collect a military force against the threat from Thrace. Already the withdrawal of Bulgaria from the war has led to a break the connection between the Ottoman Empire and Germany. For this reason, the state has to surrender. That is to say that allies defeated Bulgaria in the Balkans and attack the Ottoman Empire in an attempt to end the war. for this reason in this study will be examined that Britain and France to put Greece into war by releasing troops to Greece and to exclude Bulgaria from the war and to attack the Ottoman Empire. This initiative will analyze how the Ottoman Empire was forced to surrender.
