That movement under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal used this conflict as an opportunity to declare themselves the rightful government, replacing the monarchy in Istanbul, with a republic in Ankara. Ottoman Empire lost a great deal of territory by the treaty&#8212;Hejaz (now part of Saudi Arabia), Armenia, and Kurdistan were to become independent, Mesopotamia and Palestine were given as Mandates to the United Kingdom, Syria and Lebanon to France. The Dodecanese and Rhodes were to go to Italy, Thrace and Smyrna to Greece. The Straits and Sea of Marmara were to be demilitarized and internationalized.
