The Armistice of Mudros was the agreement that ended hostilities between the Ottoman Empire and the Allies in the First World War. It was signed on board the British battleship HMS Agamemnon in the harbour of Moudros, on the Greek island of Lemnos, by the British admiral Arthur Calthorpe and the Ottoman minister Rauf Orbay. The Ottomans surrendered their garrisons, demobilised the army, opened the Dardanelles and Bosphorus straits to the Allies and gave them the right to occupy strategic points. The Allies soon occupied Constantinople, and the empire was divided, leading to the Treaty of Sevres and the Turkish War of Independence.
