TURKISH DELIGHT: THE SNAKE STONE WON
The Snake Stone Quiz has been won after an entry was drawn by Mrs Crime Scrapsfrom the correct entries. The book will be making its way back across the Atlantic to the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The answer of course was that the link between Paris, San Stefano, Sevres and Lausanne was:
All four are linked to peace treaties which involved Turkey (or the Ottoman Empire)
1856 Treaty of Paris,which ended the Crimean War
1878 Treaty of San Stefano between Russia and the Ottoman Empire at the end of the Russo-Turkish War
1920 Treaty of Sèvres between the Allies and the Ottoman Empire at the end of the Great War
1923 Treaty of Lausanne which set the borders of modern Turkey after the rejection of Sevres by Kemal Attaturk

Hi Uriah, great blog. Pushed for time - procrastinating when I should be cracking on with an assignment.
Didn't see an Rss feed option on your blog for updates. Am I missing the bleeding obvious somehwere?

Thanks Sunnie. I think a RSS feed is beyond my technical abilities? But Maxine 's Friend Feed picks up my posts.
best wishes
