The treaty that was signed in 1920 which decided the fate of the now collapsing [Ottoman Empire]’s territories. It partitioned [Anatolia] between European colonial [spheres of influence], newly created countries for ethnic minorities, and what remained of the fallen-from-glory Ottoman Empire. Was partially nullified by the Treaty of Lusanne later on, but generally succeeded in bringing down the Ottoman Empire and creating a modern and secular Turkish state.
