Turkish Revolution

The Turkish Revolution was a series of political, social, and cultural changes in the early 20th century that transformed the Ottoman Empire into the modern Republic of Turkey. Led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk after World War I, it involved abolishing the Ottoman sultanate, establishing a secular government, and implementing reforms in education, legal systems, and women's rights. These changes aimed to modernize Turkey, promote national identity, and reduce Ottoman and Islamic influence, creating a unified, independent nation-state dedicated to progress and secularism.
