The movement, organized through Mustafa Kemal's landing at Samsun in 1919 and the congresses held thereafter, gained a political center with the opening of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey in Ankara in 1920. Throughout the war, clashes took place on the eastern, southern, and western fronts; the struggle waged against the Greek forces in the west was decisive, and the process concluded with the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923.
