Ottoman-Turkish War

The Ottoman-Turkish War refers to several conflicts involving the Ottoman Empire and various Turkish factions, primarily in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The most significant conflict is the 1919-1923 Turkish War of Independence, where nationalist forces led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk fought against occupying Allied powers after World War I. This war aimed to establish a sovereign Turkish state, leading to the abolition of the Ottoman Sultanate and the founding of the Republic of Turkey in 1923. The war fundamentally transformed Turkey, shifting its political landscape and ending centuries of Ottoman rule.
