Synopsis
Much is made of the proposed Ponto-Armenian Federation as provided for by US President Wilson in the aftermath of the First World War.
This lecture discusses how feasible this prospect could have been, given the facts on the ground, the competing interests of World Powers and of course the attitudes of the key stakeholders themselves, the Greeks of Pontus and the Armenians.
