Of all the treaties that followed the First World War, Lausanne (1923) is probably the one with the greatest enduring significance. An afterthought for the Great Powers of the time, its provisions continue to shape the world in which we live, giving rise to states but also setting up many of the conflicts that have affected the Middle East in the years since. For Kurdistan, in particular, Lausanne has always been seen as a betrayal, the moment when the Great Powers abandoned previous promises of statehood. It makes Lausanne a key turning point in the history of Kurdistan. More than a century from the treaty's ratification, this book explores its impact, the process of negotiating it, and what Lausanne can teach us about the world today. It also asks the simple question: how would Kurdistan's history be different if Lausanne hadn't happened.
