How comes Greece owns islands that are closer to Turkey?

wrong question. should reverse it. should opposite... "how come turkey owns asia minor, coastline , cities smyrni =izmir , constantinople=istanbul when these places had been greek since 1st millennium b.c., 2.500 years before asians=turks attacked greek byzantines=europeans , stole them them?"

besides think hawai.... how come usa owns it?
or gibraltar... how come belongs uk , not spain when practically inside spanish territory.
