This edited volume demonstrates that the Greek-Turkish War of 1919-1922 was a transformative event in the unmaking of imperial order and the making of a new international world.
From 1919 to 1922, Greece and Turkey fought a brutal war for Anatolia that reconfigured international politics. This volume examines the international, transnational and economic dimensions of that conflict and the bitter peace that formally ended it.
Bringing together a diverse group of experts drawing on multiple archives and the latest scholarship, this volume analyses the complexities of peacemaking, the foundation of new nations through the violent 'unmixing' of peoples, the traumas of military mobilisation, and the remarkable revival of global capitalism on the ruins of old empires. Taken together, these essays will remind readers that the Great War did not end in 1919, and that the Greek-Turkish story is a critical element in the wider reshaping of twentieth-century international order.

This book powerfully demonstrates the importance of integrating the history of the Anatolian War of 1919-1922 into Western narratives of the making of the modern world. With excellent contributions on different aspects of the conflict and its wider ramifications, the volume contributes to a better understanding of both the emergence of a new global order after 1918, and the beginnings of its unravelling. * Robert Gerwarth, Director of the Centre for War Studies, University College Dublin, Ireland * Looking backward and forward from the final settlement of the First World War, this volume reveals the complicated legacy of war and peacemaking on regional and international relations in Southeastern Europe and the Middle East. * Michelle Tusan, Professor of History, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA *
