Republic of Turkey
Republic of Turkey appears on the map from 1924 to today. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1992, it covered about 779,424 km².
The Republic of Turkey rose from the ruins of the Ottoman Empire after the First World War. When the Allies occupied Istanbul and planned to partition Anatolia, Mustafa Kemal led a nationalist war of independence from Ankara, defeating Greek, Armenian and French forces. The Treaty of Lausanne in 1923 recognised Turkey's borders, followed by a vast population exchange with Greece, and the republic was proclaimed that October. More about Republic of Turkey.
