During World War I, the Ottoman Empire, which is modern-day Turkey, sided with the Central Powers, including Germany and Austria-Hungary. The war exacerbated ethnic tensions within the empire, leading to significant events such as the Armenian Genocide, where an estimated 1.5 million Armenians were killed or forcibly displaced. The defeat of the Central Powers in 1918 resulted in the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire, paving the way for the establishment of modern Turkey under Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in the early 1920s. The war and its aftermath significantly reshaped the political landscape of the region.
