Treaty of the Dardanelles

The Treaty of the Dardanelles (also known as the Dardanelles Treaty of Peace, Commerce, and Secret Alliance, the Treaty of Çanak, the Treaty of Chanak or Turkish: Kale-i Sultaniye Antlaşması) was concluded between the Ottoman Empire and the Great Britain on 5 January 1809 at Çanak, Ottoman Empire. The treaty ended the Anglo-Turkish War. The Porte (the Ottoman government) restored extensive British commercial and legal privileges in the empire. Britain promised to protect the integrity of the Ottoman Empire against the French threat, both with its own fleet and through weapons supplies to Constantinople. The treaty affirmed the principle that no warships of any power should enter the straits of the Dardanelles and the Bosporus. The treaty anticipated the London Straits Convention of 1841, by which the other major powers committed themselves to this same principle.[1]

gollark: Really? Hmm. This is news to me.
gollark: Web development is pretty problematic in a bunch of ways, but it's a really nice platform. You get nice client/server communication, very good UI rendering, tons of good libraries, and video playback and stuff.
gollark: Well, I want something which can run on remote devices and without me having to program platform-specific UI stuff.
gollark: ~100KB vs ~10MB, roughly, although maybe WASM output sizes have improved now.
gollark: For equal size yes, probably, but WASM would be two orders of magnitude larger in this case, roughly.
