This volume is a collection of essays, as well as the text of the treaty and letters to and from members of the government. The basis for the Committee's opposition to the treaty is that it does not punish the perpetrators of the Armenian genocide. Moreover the Committee asserts the right of Armenians to an independent state supported by the United States. The essays attack the issue from a variety of standpoints, including humanitarian, on the basis of honor, and as a matter of economic/political weakness--specifically, in that the treaty ended foreign "rights" to extraterritorial privileges within Turkey. A common thread is that most of the essays are from a Christian standpoint: the writers assert that the killing of Armenians is especially terrible because they are Christians being killed by Muslims, or that the treaty itself is anti-Christian.

An analysis of the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne from multiple historical, economic, and social perspectives. The last of the post-World War One peace settlements, the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne departed from methods used in the Treaty of Versailles and took on a new peace-making initiative: a forced population exchange that affected one and a half million people. Like its German and Austro-Hungarian allies, the defeated Ottoman Empire had initially been presented with a dictated peace in 1920. In just two years, however, the Kemalist insurgency enabled Turkey to become the first sovereign state in the Middle East, while the Greeks, Armenians, Arabs, Egyptians, Kurds, and other communities previously under the Ottoman Empire sought their own forms of sovereignty. Featuring historical analysis from multiple perspectives, They All Made Peace, What is Peace? considers the Lausanne Treaty and its legacy. Chapters investigate British, Turkish, and Soviet designs in the post-Ottoman world, situate the population exchanges relative to other peacemaking efforts, and discuss the economic factors behind the reallocation of Ottoman debt and the management of refugee flows. Further chapters examine Kurdish, Arab, Iranian, Armenian, and other communities that were refused formal accreditation at Lausanne, but which were still forced to live with the consequences, consequences that are still emerging, one hundred years on.
