France and the Grand National Assembly of Turkey signed the Treaty of Ankara, bringing to an end the Franco Turkish War. The treat fixed the bordered between Turkey and the French ruled Syrian mandate, which had not been accepted by the National Assembly.
The treaty signaled that France, which had better relations with the National Assembly than other Allied countries, was essentially recognizing the National Assembly as the legitimate government. It also demonstrated that the Alliance coming out of World War One, which had seen France, the United Kingdom, Greece and Italy all intervene in Turkey, had effectively come apart during the long-running Greco Turkish War.
