Because of the First World War, the [[Dodecanese]] remained under Italian military occupation. According to the 1920 [[Treaty of Sèvres]], which was never ratified, Italy was supposed to cede all of the islands except [[Rhodes]] to Greece in exchange for a vast Italian zone of influence in southwest [[Anatolia]]. However, the Greek defeat in the [[Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922)|Greco–Turkish War]] and the foundation of modern Turkey created a new situation that made the enforcement of the terms of that treaty impossible. In Article 15 of the 1923 [[Treaty of Lausanne]], which superseded the 1920 Treaty of Sèvres, Turkey formally recognised the Italian annexation of the Dodecanese. The population was largely Greek, and by treaty in 1947, the islands eventually became part of Greece.P.J. Carabott, "The Temporary Italian Occupation of the Dodecanese: A Prelude to Permanency," ''Diplomacy and Statecraft'', (1993) 4#2 pp 285–312. As the Dodecanese were part of Italy, the local population was not affected by the subsequent [[population exchange between Greece and Turkey]], and a small community of [[Dodecanese Turks]] has remained to this day.
