Mustafa Kemal Atatürk;[b] c. 1881[c] – 10 November 1938) was a Turkish field
marshal, revolutionary statesman, author, and the founding father of the
Republic of Turkey, serving as its first president from 1923 until his death
in 1938. He undertook sweeping progressive reforms, which modernized Turkey
into a secular, industrializing nation. Due to his military and political
accomplishments, Atatürk is regarded as one of the most important political
leaders of the 20th century.
Atatürk came to prominence for his role in securing the Ottoman
Turkish victory at the Battle of Gallipoli (1915) during World War I.
Following the defeat and dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, he led the
Turkish National Movement, which resisted mainland Turkey's partition among
the victorious Allied powers. Establishing a provisional government in the
present-day Turkish capital Ankara (known in English at the time as Angora),
he defeated the forces sent by the Allies, thus emerging victorious from
what was later referred to as the Turkish War of Independence. He
subsequently proceeded to abolish the decrepit Ottoman Empire and proclaimed
the foundation of the Turkish Republic in its place.
As the president of the newly formed Turkish Republic, Atatürk
initiated a rigorous program of political, economic, and cultural reforms
with the ultimate aim of building a modern, progressive and secular
nation-state. He made primary education free and compulsory, opening
thousands of new schools all over the country. He also introduced the
Latin-based Turkish alphabet, replacing the old Ottoman Turkish alphabet.
Turkish women received equal civil and political rights during Atatürk's
presidency. In particular, women were given voting rights in local elections
by Act no. 1580 on 3 April 1930 and a few years later, in 1934, full
universal suffrage.
