He would fight Italians in 1911 and soon would fight the allies in 1915. After the end of the first World War the Ottoman empire, as punishment, would be divided by the winners of the war, The Allied Powers. Out of anger towards the outcome of World War One, Ataturk would soon start a nationalist revolution against the idea of kneeling to their Allied enemies. This would be Ataturk's path to power and it would seal his legacy into the history of the Turkish empire.  Such a revolution would be what pushes the Greeks back from seizing Turkish land, and would guarantee the independence of the Turkish people. With the power he now held in the palm of his hand, he would establish a temporary government which would last up until the end of World War 2. He was highly respected among the people of Turkey, even being given the name "Ataturk" which would mean father of the Turks in Turkish. He would not live to see the end of World War 2 unfortunately. Dying in 1938.]]> 2019-04-10 13:50:30 UTC https://padlet.com/memjr0926/szutcac4do2x/wish/350354840 memjr0926 https://padlet.com/memjr0926/szutcac4do2x/wish/350367829 Before Ataturk would pass away, he made many efforts to support his homeland. These efforts were made in the form of political and social reforms.  This would include the liberation of Turkish women  and the abandonment of Islamic institutions. Not only that, Turkey would soon turn to hopping on the Westernization train to a modern economy. He changed the way Turkish people dress, the calendar, the Turkish alphabet, and the Turkish legal codes in order for the country of Turkey to appeal to a more modernized ideology .  Ataturk would not only modernize turkey but would also improve relations with their neighbors as a whole.]]> 2019-04-10 14:15:15 UTC https://padlet.com/memjr0926/szutcac4do2x/wish/350367829
