One treaty aimed to erase a nation from history.
The other became the foundation of a republic.
This documentary explores in depth:
• The Treaty of Sèvres (1920) — a colonial blueprint to partition Anatolia and dismantle the Ottoman Empire.
• The Treaty of Lausanne (1923) — a diplomatic and national struggle that redrew borders and reclaimed sovereignty.
• The unresolved issues: Mosul, minority rights, reparations, and the psychological legacy of empire.
And a central question remains:
Why is the Treaty of Lausanne still being targeted today?
And is the mindset behind Sèvres really gone — or simply rebranded?
From secret maps to closed-door negotiations, this is not just a story of the past —
It is a confrontation with the political ghosts still haunting our present.
Because Sèvres was never just a treaty.
And Lausanne was never just a signature.
