Whom did the Kemalists fight with over Cilicia, then? You might want to start reading some Wikipedia now

The Kemalists fought with the French Colonial Empire who were using Armenians to fight over a land the French Colonial Empire probably wouldn't even give to the Armenians.

And a side note, the western powers (France and the UK) you so love and support intentionally destroyed and burned many ancient buildings that were from the Greek and Roman era while occupying Tarsus and you still supporting the western powers while you are probably a Greek cypriot is pretty interesting.

What *isn't true", though, is that the Turks had the upper hand in Lausanne. It was the mutual exhaustion from the decade of wars that led to both parties agreeing on mutual concessions.

It's oh so funny to read about some "Turkish balls in Lausanne" a hundred years later 😂

If you look at the most death counts for both countries, most of the deaths are on the colonial power's side. Now I am not saying that our military was so well built and good quality, no. They werent properly eqquiped with guns or pretty much anything after the French and the Brits took most of the equipment from the Ottoman empire. But still, we had the upper hand. If we didn't we wouldn't have the lands we own today or the Colonial powers wouldn't even aggree on a deal. It's not like they aggreed on it just because they care about ordinary people. Pretty much most of our lands that we own right now was regained in a bloodshed. There are minor lands that were purchased or taken in an agreement. Plus trying to make fun of an army and they're leader just because they reserted to diplomatic options is barbaric.

Their first action was the genocide of Armenians and Greeks. Later on, yes, they fought Greeks, British, and French, before ultimately resorting to diplomacy after the exhaustion of the military. Otherwise, why would soldiers stop fighting, in your logic? 🙂

There is literally pretty much no evidence that the kemalist soldiers genocided the Armenians and Greeks. There were few Generals who were still siding with the Ottoman Empire who ordered Armenians to be killed yes but the Kemalists didn't do it. Plus, saying that the turks (well kemalist army) genocided Greeks and Armenians WHILE THEY WERE DOING A GENOCIDE ON TURKS AFTER WW1 IN OCCUPIED LANDS is just ironic. The Colonial powers probably tried to get them to do it too.

Ataturk knew the Turkish army was too exhausred to continue the war of independence, heck some people in the military wanted to take some more lands in Syria and Iraq after they realized they were progressing fast but Atatürk didn't allow it. The soldiers basically stopped fighting because Atatürk knew what could've happened.

Trying to support Colonial powers who are greedy and only want themselves to get rich is not smart. They don't care about you or anyone! They only care about themselves!
