[[1919]] to decide on the partition of the remaining territories of the Empire. The [[United Kingdom|British]] had already occupied [[Istanbul]] ([[Constantinople]]), the [[France|French]] had marched into [[Cilicia]], and the Italians landed in [[Antalya]] on the southern coast as well as being promised parts on the western coasts including İzmir. The [[Italy|Italians]] were unaware however, that Britain had promised Greece large tracts of Asia Minor for its support during the war.

==Turkish recapture, September 1922==
The Greek operation deep in Anatolia proved a disaster and by 
[[1922]] the Greek army had been routed with Kemal's forces pursuing them to İzmir. The British representative in İzmir warned, "The Greeks have realised that they have got to go but they are decided to leave a desert behind them, no matter whose interests may suffer thereby. Everything which they have time and means to move will be carried off to Greece; the Turks will be plundered and burnt out of house and home"<ref name="three-four-three">Andrew Mango, Atatürk. p343.</ref>.
