Who negotiated this deal?

The entire Bosporus region was meant to be internationally administered. Ataturk won it back.

Turkey negotiated about it. They fought a war agaisnt ottomans England France Italy and Greece and won. Well saying a war agaisnt England France and Italy is a little unfair. England never sent any troops and only aided greeks, French got blasted by the turkish milita and left and Italy was angry over izmir so they pretty much just left.
they fought for it instead of bending over backwards like german and austrian

i love how greeks blamed england when it was their own command being retarded sending their army all the way into anatolia just to get btfo by attaturk
The Greeks, even with the help of the Brits, couldn't capture Constantinople, the Turks won it fair and square

and this was against a militia army from newly formed country who had just lost million in the great war

the greeks lost for starter
allies just went out of great war, that and also the memory of gallipolli makes them prefer peace

It's especially ironic, considering that England won Greece's independence in the first place.
