Neutrality. What is it good for? Well it turns out it can be good for a lot of things as our case study today shows. We'll be heading to the inconspicuous province of Hatay, which it turns out was a major sore point for the Turkish nationalists in the early Republic and is now a sore point for Syrian nationalists. The poor place just can't win. We re-establish the background of the world situation and how Ismet Inonu took advantage of a weakened France who were willing to engage in another front in appeasement in order to ensure Turkey's neutrality in World War 2. Was Hatay really a big enough deal to change that? Well, that's for us to find out and France to never know.
Our intro music is by our good friend Jordan who is a fellow member of ALE, which you should all check out!
