Abstract
W 7HAT is the Near East? I take V V it for granted that it means possibly Egypt, Arabia, Palestine, Syria, Mesopotamia, all the Turkish Empire, the Balkan Peninsula and Greece. That is the area that figured not a little in the first Lausanne Conference. Today that is not the same Near East that existed in 1912. In 1912 Turkey held territory across the Balkan Peninsula to the Adriatic Sea. It also held Arabia, Palestine, Syria and Mesopotamia. Since that time Turkey has essentially withdrawn from Arabia, from Palestine, from Syria, from Mesopotamia and from the greater part of the Balkan Peninsula.
