                            These words clearly manifested how the abolishment of the capitulations

                        was crucial for the Turkish side. So much so, the suspension of the talks due
                        to the capitulations disagreement did nothing to weaken the determination

                        of the Turks. The Turkish side, having just endured a war that continued for
                        ten straight years, and having lost almost everything, didn't hesitate for a mo-

                        ment to start preparations for war again. When the Lausanne negotiations
                        came to a halt due to the issue on capitulations, Mustafa Kemal ordered the

                        Turkish army to start war preparations.

                            The truth is, the Allied Powers didn't want the Lausanne

                        negotiations to be suspended either. Having fought in
                        WWI, that caused immense destruction, none of them

                        were willing to resume hostilities; especially after the
                        horrible war of four years destroyed both the victors

                        and the losers. Furthermore, European countries
                        couldn't afford to be 'not on the side of peace'.

                        The Western public, weary and battered,
                        wanted peace and therefore, the Allied

                        Powers had to yield and not be per-
                        sistent on capitulations. Being

                        the side that stopped the peace
                        negotiations was equal to be-

                        ing the side that did not
                        want peace and it was

                        clear that such an ad-
