[edit] The Italian occupation of Antalya.

The Italians, supported by the armoured cruiser "Regina Elena", occupied Antalya on March 28, 1919. The goal was to establish an Italian "sphere of influence" in Anatolia. The Peace Treaty of Sèvres set two spheres of influence, an Italian ("Zone of Antalya") and a French ("Zone of Adana) but the revival of the Turkish patriotism hindered these imperialistic projects. So the last Italian troops left Antalya on July 5, 1921.
