Turkish Revolutionary Thought

Turkish Revolutionary Thought encompasses ideas and movements that aimed to modernize and strengthen Turkey, especially during the early 20th century. It focused on creating a unified, secular nation by replacing the Ottoman Empire’s old institutions with new laws, education, and national identity rooted in Turkish language and culture. Leaders like Mustafa Kemal Atatürk emphasized reforms such as abolishing the sultanate, establishing a republic, promoting women's rights, and adopting Western legal and educational systems. This thought sought to modernize Turkey while fostering national pride and independence, shaping the country's path toward a modern nation-state.
