Özet:

After World War I, the balances between the Entente States aimed at reshaping the Balkan geography in line with their political, military, economic, social and cultural concerns led to an increase in the influence of Greece in occupied Thrace. The Allied Powers, which signed the armistice of Salonica with Bulgaria and the Mudros Armistice with Turkey, primarily prepared the military infrastructure and made it easier for Greece to feel its influence in Western and Eastern Thrace. In the process of the Treaty of Sèvres, the Allied Powers gave approval for the military occupation of Thrace by Greece. Meanwhile the Allied Powers, which subsequently imposed the Treaty of Neuilly on Bulgaria and the Treaty of Sèvres on Turkey, handed over Thrace to Greece officially, with certain conditions and obligations under the Treaty concerning Thrace signed at Sèvres. In this study, which aims to analyze the factors and variables affecting the transfer of Thrace to Greece by the Allied Powers which is of great importance to the Eastern Mediterranean, Turkish Straits, Black Sea and Anatolia with the Balkans. together with the British archival documents and the treaties texts, will be used. British archival documents offer a different perspective on the approaches of the Allied Powers to Thrace and their approach to the Greek operation during the Sèvres process. It is expected that the treaty texts signed with the Treaty of Sèvres and which are not mentioned much in the literature, are expected to make a significant contribution to this study by revealing the conditions and obligations of Thrace that were transferred to Greece.
