Its unfair saloniki who had their own breweries and bowling clubs as well as it was a very multinational western Oriented Society vest. Of. Ataturk continues his career at the renowned autumn and military academy in istanbul. Training at the academy is heavily influenced by depression military theory as the germans have been responsible for modernizing the Ottoman Empire as military schools.

Our goal there were armenians and an attorney a before there were turks there. We know this. Or good people speak of genocide but the ottomans and the armenians were of the order list so i thought this remains the official turkish position to this day however a majority of those deported are civilians women children and old man almost all of them die on the forced marches internationally it is deemed genocide but how does ataturk feel about the treatment of the armenians. They took.

The greeks have preemptively occupied is near and continue to advance inland. So it would slows to a good site. Is the turkish west side however at least according the germans the potential to be a large power. This was not the case with says that which demanded the dismantling of the empire. Said signified the end several billeted. Ataturk considers the 7 to go ca sions an unmitigated disaster long before an agreement is reached he launches his campaign against the dictated freedom from the coastal town of some soon. Ataturk already has a plan for a future turkey laid out. Ataturk had been sent to some soon with orders to supervise the demobilization of troops instead he refuses to follow the orders of the government in istanbul and calls on the Muslim Population to resist the greeks this provocation leads to his dismissal from the army. In absentia he and his comrades is mad pascha later is met a new are sentenced to death by istanbuls military court.

After our victory the country will be governed as a republic. The sultan and the dynasty will be dealt with as necessary when the time comes the veil will be abolished as well the famous people will wear hats as they do in civilized nations. There were a lot of man like after talk military leaders who became politicians between world war one and world war 2. In hungary there was admiral hawtrey or and inspiring you had general franco. But ataturk was the only head of state with a military background who cut spending for the armed forces and invested the money in education and health in order to heal the nations ones. The. New state requires a new capital city a small largely insignificant of ministers of center becomes the anchor of the modern era ataturk remains a powerful presence in the city. On the 23rd of april 920. 00. Opens turkeys 1st grand National Assembly the new parliament declares the treaty of 7 avoid and the government representatives in istanbul guilty of high treason. The Opposition Parliament then signs a contract with the bolsheviks in russia. The soviet union is the 1st country to recognize the new government and sends money and weapons for the fight against the greek occupiers. 2 years later most of troops will have recaptured most of turkey. In july 121 ataturk assumes command of the war against the Occupying Forces once again he proves himself a master strategist he declares general mobilization demanding that every turkish citizen contribute to the production of arms and ammunition. Even women transport shells to the frontline. This highly motivated army under most of our commanders command. Eventually defeats the greeks resoundingly at the battle of south korea. As attack is given the honorary title ghazi the conqueror. In 1022 attack and his war against the greek occupy as in on the edge in khost this also marks a significant turning point in his personal life. The city falls to the turkish army without resistance using breaks out in christian areas of the city. A fire begins in the armenian quarter and becomes a conflagration forcing local inhabitants to flee. 10 days later the christian areas have burned to the ground could ataturk have prevented this. These are when ataturk arrived in israel and he had defeated the greeks my opinion is this why would a person who enters a city victorious then set fire to that city as far as i can see the fires could only have been set by those escaping and there are documents to back this up however it is not an indisputable claim. De clichy which goes to nobody can now denies that not only the greek inhabitants of izmir sort also between 1. 20 freak refugees were literally forced onto the ships. Of us here however weve been unable to establish conclusively who was responsible for the destruction of the city by arson that constant storm. Does most of the fact that most of the came out himself for man silent on the issue suggests that the army was involved in the its. The army. Just walk. In is man most of our command establishes his headquarters in a villa owned by the shack is that a family successful local merchants. Lot effect the families daughter had pledged to marry the man who freed is near from the greeks. Such a beautiful elegant woman whereas the image of a 1000000 sold you know around home and my passion. I had it made early recently.

House of your family affected by the fire yes many get all we earn so ban my passion. We have defeated the enemy and under your leadership we will build a new isnt it. The couple are drawn together by passion and patriotism. Turkish sources suggest that the events in izmir cost 10000. 00 lives while greek sources claimed there were as many as 100000 deaths possibly one 3rd of it is now as total population of the armenian inhabitants only a few individuals survived. Some desperate people are able to escape to the greek islands the allied ships in the harbor refused to intervene or come to their aid. Centuries of multicultural multiethnic existence in the city come to an end is near becomes a turkish city. The victory sell it. Nations across the country represent a triumph for the young state mr becomes a shining hero in the eyes of turkeys population once and for all. The reconquest of turkeys former territories makes the treaty of sapphire worthless forcing the allies to return to the negotiating table. Eventually turkeys new government signs the treaty of lausanne which negates many of the several conditions on the 24th of july 123. The treaty effectively legalizes the expulsion of unwelcome sections of the population in order to turn the former multi ethnic Ottoman Empire into a turkish nation state. This leads to the greatest Population Exchange the world had so far witnessed. Hundreds of thousands of people are affected. Large columns of greeks who have been citizens of the Ottoman Empire she turkey while muslims from phrase and macedonia make their way to the new turkish state. And many more nationalities are affected. Without the ferguss go 01 mustnt forget that there were also large numbers of refugees and people resettled from the balkans and the caucasus who made up the new nation soon it wasnt only people born in anatolia script fair experts who claim that in turkey it wasnt the people who formed the nation but the state which effectively created the nation from the top down. But for all. Should. Ataturks government in ankara banishes the last sultan mcmath the 6th and subsequently all members of the house of.

Bandits finnan poor narco latin phase role in the reforms consisted of her company came out wherever he went up until this point all male leaders or went everywhere alone without their wives most of our commercial and latin went everywhere together i think that was the biggest reform and i am a little sorry that this is often ignored reformers so. That if i had studied in paris and speaks fluent german she transforms ataturks former bachelor nights into european style middle class dinner parties. Women are also invited to attend. But probably not the rabble. Few of ataturks cultural reforms have quite the long term success of his efforts to introduce gender equality. In modern day turkey women are to be found in all professions and they are far more emancipated than in other muslim societies the foundation for todays equality lies with turkeys adoption of the swiss civil code in 19255 years later women are given the vote in turkey long before france and switzerland introduce universal suffrage.
