@nihismos: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (1881–1938) was a Turkish field marshal, revolutionary statesman, author, and the founding father of the Republic of Turkey, serving as its first president from 1923 until his death in 1938. He undertook sweeping progressive reforms, which modernized Turkey into a secular, industrializing nation. Ideologically a secularist and nationalist, his policies and socio-political theories became known as Kemalism. Atatürk came to prominence for his role in securing the Ottoman Turkish victory at the Battle of Gallipoli during World War I. Following the defeat and dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, he led the Turkish National Movement, which resisted the mainland's partition among the victorious Allied powers. Establishing a provisional government in Ankara, he defeated the forces sent by the Allies, thus emerging victorious from the Turkish War of Independence. Atatürk subsequently proceeded to dismantle the compromised Ottoman Empire and proclaimed the foundation of the Turkish Republic in its place. #Atatürk #MustafaKemalAtatürk #kemalizm #atatürkedit #edit
