Modernization of Turkey

The modernization of Turkey refers to the country's efforts to develop its economy, infrastructure, education, and governance to align with contemporary global standards. Starting in the early 20th century, especially under Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s leadership, Turkey transitioned from an empire to a republic, implementing reforms in law, language, and education. Over time, it has focused on industrialization, technological advancement, and improving living standards, balancing tradition with modern technology. This ongoing process aims to create a more stable, progressive society capable of competing internationally while preserving its unique cultural identity.
