Summary/Abstract: The Ottoman State had to sign the Mondros Armistice Treaty on October 30, 1918. This date, the Caucasus Army in Azerbaijan under the direction of Nuri Pasha, another army under Ali Ihsan Pasha in Mosul and the Yıldırım Armies group under the command of Mustafa Kemal Pasha were also deployed to the north of Aleppo. Nevertheless, the fact that the Ottoman Empire had to sign the ceasefire agreement is why the British and French forces head to Thrace after defeating Bulgaria. The Ottoman State, unable to compensate for the disadvantages of the existing armies, did not collect a military force against the threat from Thrace. Already the withdrawal of Bulgaria from the war has led to a break the connection between the Ottoman Empire and Germany. For this reason, the state has to surrender.

This initiative will analyze how the Ottoman Empire was forced to surrender.
