Özet:

The First World War is one of the breakpoints in terms of world political history. The consequences of this Great War have shaped a lot of issues having impact until this time. It should be firstly noted that empire period has ended at least in classical meaning. The states based on the form of nation-states have taken place of empires which have dissolved. At the basis of it, it has clearly been seen the effect of nationalist movement that got a serious blow in empires States based on nationalist structure with nationalist movements have brought to the agenda. Thus, different ethnicities living in different geographies have started to turn into a unique nation. This process has also brought many problems. It should be noted that this nation-building process has improved by the manipulation of great powers for their recognition and interests. Wilson Principles and Turk-Greek exchange with Treaty of Lausanne are good examples in this regard.
