==History==

When the treaty was signed in 1936, tensions where beginning to grow between Germany and Great Britain, as well as France. [[England]] and France saw the opportunity to see where Turkey's position was. They used the convention as their first step to encourage Turkey either to involve its war fleet in war against Germany or to maintain strict neutrality in the event of conflict between the Western Allies and Germany. <ref name="cutler">http://www.robertcutler.org/ch91dc.htm</ref> Turkey's neutrality stood despite Germany's pressure. The USSR interest in the treaty where to limit foreign ships through the straits, while letting its own warships pass. In 1930, Turkey was asked by [[Stalin]] to share its soverignty of the straits with the USSR, Turkey declined. <ref name="cutler" />
