Abstract :One of the oldest, most persistent and important problems in European History and İnternational Law is the `Question of the Straits`. More than twenty treaties in modern times mention the Turkish Straits. Five of these treaties were made exclusively to regulate passage through these waters: The London Agreement, 1841; Paris Straits Convention, 1856; London Convention, 1871; Lausanne Straits Convention, 1923; and the Treaty of Montreux, 1936. Phillipson and Buxton affirm that one of the causes of the First World War was the Straits problem.Keywords : The United States Of America, Turkish Straits, Ottoman, Turkey, History
