The Treaty of Sèvres, signed in 1920, partitioned the Ottoman territories among the victorious Allied powers, resulting in the establishment of modern-day Turkey and the creation of new states in the Middle East such as Syria, Iraq, and Palestine. The empire's territories in Europe were also divided among the Allies, leading to the creation of new countries like Greece, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia. The defeat in World War I marked the end of the Ottoman Empire's nearly 600-year rule in the region.
