 Treaty of Lausanne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treaty of Lausanne (July 24, 1923) was a peace treaty that settled a part of the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire that reflected the consequences of the Turkish Independence War between Allies of World War I and Turkish national movement, (Grand National Assembly of Turkey).
It delimited the boundaries of Greece, Bulgaria, and Turkey, formally ceded all Turkish claims on Cyprus, Iraq and Syria, and (along with the Treaty of Ankara) settled the boundaries of the latter two nations.
The Treaty of Lausanne was cited in the proclamation of the Palestinian State by the PLO in 1988.

 The Rapprochement of the Churches
In the conference the Eastern Orthodox delegates explicitly claimed infallibility for their church, and a like claim of infallibility was more or less present in the minds of many delegates of other churches.

Lausanne marked the passing of uniformity and the coming of diversity within unity.

Those who attended the Lausanne II conference were continuously bombarded with an unscriptural philosophy of compromise that inevitably will affect their ministries, and certainly not for the better.
If this Lausanne Covenant is to be the guiding document for evangelical worldwide evangelism in the days to come, then we must warn that a wide gulf exists between the Lausanne movement and the plan of God for the believer's ministry as plainly revealed in the Holy Bible.
Another major shift in emphasis between Lausanne I and Lausanne II was the greatly increased emphasis given to issues of social action and justice.

The Lausanne Conference was a 1932 meeting of representatives from Great Britain, Germany, and France that resulted in an agreement to suspend World War I reparations payments imposed on the defeated countries by the Treaty of Versailles.
A moratorium had been placed on the war reparations payments in 1931 and a year later the delegates to the Lausanne Conference realized that the deepening world financial crisis in the Great Depression made it nearly impossible for Germany to resume its payments.
However, Britain and France and other Allies had borrowed heavily to fight the war and in particular, France and Belgium were struggling after having had their infrastructure severely damaged by the fighting and by the deliberate destruction and plundering from retreating German forces as the war drew to a close.
