Tewfik Pasha, who succeeded another co-founder, Damad Ferid Pasha,

as a grand vizier, was also an anglophile. In his first remark in office, he made

it clear that his goal was 'rebuilding our old friendship with Britain'.

On November 22, 1919, when he was in London as the Ottoman Am-
bassador, he explained his plan to build an Ottoman-British alliance on de-

fense issues and continued saying that, 'Turkish nation, from the Sultan to the
people trust Great Britain and wouldn't be able to show that trust to any oth-

er nation.' As he was uttering these words, Britain was drawing up the Treaty
of Sèvres at the Paris Peace Conference and making plans to share the Ot-

toman lands.
