   Treaty of Ouchy ends the Italo-Turkish War

   Ottoman Libya went to Italy; the treaty provided for the evacuation of the Aegean islands Italy had occupied (including Rhodes), but its vagueness, the Balkan Wars and the First World War let Italy stay. Turkey renounced the islands to Italy at Lausanne (Article 15).
