Southern Asia 98 years ago today: Turkish-Armenian War (28 Nov 1920) https://buff.ly/2Sjizin The Treaty of Sevres granted Armenia a large swathe of eastern Anatolia as reparation for the Ottoman Empire’s persecution of the Armenians during World War I. However this territory was now under the control of the Turkish Nationalists, who invaded the Republic of Armenia itself in September. Facing the prospect of Turkish occupation, the Armenians were forced to renounce their claims under Sevres on December 3. The following day, Soviet troops, who were already invading from Azerbaijan, entered Yerevan, bringing Armenia’s independence to an end. #southernasia #history #welovemaps #map #1920 #1920s #turkishhistory #armenianhistory #treatyofsevres #greaterarmenia #ottomanempire #republicofarmenia #europeanhistory #worldhistory #november #november28 #southwestasia #caucasus #sovietunion #ussr #sovietrussia #armeniassr #worldwar1 #ww1 #worldwari #wwi #greatwar #maps #historyteacher #historybuff (at Yerevan, Armenia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqt0b7_gCJM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=356v3ziblsyb
