In October 1918 the Armistice of Mudros was signed, marking the defeat of the Ottoman Empire at the hands of the Allied forces. With this armistice the victorious allies took control of Constantinople and reinstalled the Sultanate, putting Mohammed VI in power.
Facing the threat of military intervention by the British, French and Americans, Turkish War Tribunals were held in 1919 to bring the architects of the Genocide to justice. In these tribunals many of the crimes carried out by the Young Turks were officially recognized and over 100 members of the CUP were imprisoned. At the same time, the League of Nations enacted legislation to partition Turkey, giving back to the Armenians their historical homeland as an independent nation. Sultan Mohammed VI and the Grand Vizier accepted these terms at the Treaty of Sevres in 1920, ceding millions of acres of the Ottoman Empire to independent Armenian rule.
