Talk:Armistice of Mudros

USA
According to this page, the Ottoman Empire declared war on the USA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Participants_in_World_War_I#Declarations_of_war --JFCochin (talk) 09:48, 18 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Nice catch. That page seems totally unreferenced, and searching for "April 20 1917 ottoman" doesn't come up with a lot - History_of_the_Ottoman_Empire_during_World_War_I claims "relations were broken".
 * https://books.google.com/books?id=KsNvyTwz9y0C&pg=PA104&lpg=PA104&dq=april+20+1917+ottoman&source=bl&ots=OLSO5Zjw7P&sig=YRJrjP2TOjOo2s-HkqlNBtFMgM8&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjLi92q-ZPYAhVKRyYKHRlzAy8Q6AEIVTAH#v=onepage&q=april%2020%201917%20ottoman&f=false says that it was "severed diplomatic relations" as well but there was no war and that also the Turks immediately apologized for it, which blunted the impact.  So I think the other page should be fixed.  SnowFire (talk) 16:13, 18 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Although looking more closely, apparently that table uses yellow to mean "Severed diplomatic relations." I guess the table should be fixed to be more clear/blunt rather than just color-coding.  SnowFire (talk) 16:15, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
