B. Dissolving the ottoman Empire
C. Weaken ottomans military
D. Ask for reparations

Answer 1

Hint: The first world war was a watershed event in the history of the world. The allied powers emerged victorious in the war and the central powers lost or were defeated. As a result of this various treaties were signed between the central powers and the allied powers to end the war.

Complete answer: After the first world war ended the central powers were defeated and the Allied powers emerged victoriously. Therefore, treaties were signed between both the groups to completely end the war and make settlements on the conditions mentioned by the Allied powers. The Treaty of Sevres was one such treaty that was signed between the representative government of the Ottoman Empire that was part of central powers and the Allied powers. Under this treaty, the Ottoman Empire was abolished by the Allied powers. The treaty also mentioned that Turkey will have to renounce its rights over the territory of Arab Asia and North Africa. Apart from this some of the other important provisions of the treaty included the independence of Armenia, autonomous Kurdistan, and control of Greek over the Aegean Islands, Eastern Thrace, and Anatolian West coast.

Thus, option B is correct.

Note: The treaty of Sevres signed between the Ottoman Empire's representative government and the allied powers could not work well and was rejected by the nationalist regime of Turkey. Therefore, due to this rejection, a new treaty replaced the Treaty of Sevres known as the Treaty of Lausanne in the year 1923.
