The Armistice of Mudros

The Armistice of Mudros was an agreement signed on October 30, 1918, between the Ottoman Empire and the Allied powers, effectively ending hostilities in World War I. It allowed for the cessation of fighting, the dismantling of Ottoman military forces, and occupation of key territories by the Allies. The agreement was a stepping stone toward the empire's eventual dissolution, leading to the establishment of modern Turkey and the loss of Ottoman-controlled regions. It marked the end of Ottoman participation in the war and initiated a period of political and territorial reorganization.
