Abstract

This article is on the diplomatic processes leading to the decision to exchange populations between Greece and Turkey during the peace negotiations at the Lausanne Conference in 1923. The US National Archives has rich and hitherto unexploited archival material that encompasses the correspondence between Istanbul, Athens and the US Department of State. As the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs Archives is still closed to researchers, US diplomatic correspondence gives a clear picture of how Greek and Turkish statesmen, as well as intermediaries such as the representatives of the League of Nations, developed and accomplished the idea of population exchange in 1922–23.

种族清洗与外交:从美国国家档案馆看1923-24年希腊-土耳其人口交换

本文是关于1923年洛桑会议和平谈判期间导致希腊和土耳其之间决定交换人口的外交进程。美国国家档案馆拥有丰富的、迄今尚未开发的档案材料，其中包括伊斯坦布尔、雅典和美国国务院之间的通信。由于土耳其外交部档案仍然对研究人员关闭，美国的外交信件清楚地展示了希腊和土耳其的政治家以及国际联盟代表等中间人如何在1922年至1923年发展并完成人口交换的想法。

期刊介绍： The Turkish Historical Review is devoted to Turkish history in the widest sense, covering the period from the 6th century, with the rise of the Turks in Central Asia, to the 20th century. All contributions to the journal must display a substantial use of primary-source material and also be accessible to historians in general, i.e. those working outside the specific fields of Ottoman and Turkish history. Articles with a comparative scope which cross the traditional boundaries of the area studies paradigm are therefore very welcome. The editors also encourage younger scholars to submit contributions. The journal includes a reviews section, which, in addition to publications in English, French, and other western European languages, will specifically monitor new studies in Turkish and those coming out in the Balkans, Russia and the Middle East. The Turkish Historical Review has a double-blind peer review system.
