In 1918, after the end of hostilities with the Ottoman Empire, the British were in favor of helping Greece create a "New Greek Empire", including handing over the historically Greek area of the West Coast of Asia Minor and Ottoman Thrace. Now, say the Turkish War of Independence, and Mustafa Kemal, had failed, with Greek dominance of Western Asia Minor, Armenian independence, and various French and English Mandates over parts of Asia Minor dividing Turkey similar to the way they divided the Middle East. What effect would this have on the Russian Revolution (due to the new Mandates' proximity to Russia), the Second World War, and the Cold War?
