The Making of the Modern Middle East
to
National WWI Museum and Memorial 2 Memorial Drive, Kansas City, Missouri
How does an empire dissolve? WWI saw the end of three empires including the Ottoman Empire, one of the world’s oldest and most expansive powers. After nearly 600 years of rule, on Aug. 10, 1920, the Ottoman Empire officially disbanded with the short-lived, yet impactful, Treaty of Sèvres. On the centennial anniversary of this treaty, join Dr. Yiğit Akin of Ohio State University for an essential conversation for understanding the modern Middle East. FREE with RSVP | Zoom Conference
