Part 16/16:

The borders drawn were mosaics of ethnic claims, strategic interests, and diplomatic compromises, with lasting consequences for regional stability. The treaty’s aftermath did not bring peace to the region but instead sowed seeds of future conflict, nationalism, and unrest—a testament to the complex and fragile peace that followed the first great war in history.
