Start living

In 1881, the city of the Ottoman Empire in Thessaloniki (now Greece), was born the future leader of the Turks. I wonder what the exact date of birth policy is still unknown. This is due to the fact that two brothers of Mustafa died at birth, and the parents, not believing in the future of their third son, did not even remember his birthday.

The Story of Ataturk's lasted more than a century. The father of the great figure looked like from a tribe Ljajic. Success in the military father could not boast. Despite the fact that he could curry favor to the rank of senior officer, ended his life he was a merchant in the market. The mother of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was not an ordinary peasant. Although, according to historians, Zubaida Khanum and her relatives were known in their social stratum is due to religious teachings.

Apparently so, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, whose biography is known to many of his countrymen went to school religious direction. For his mother it was very important, so in spite of the obstinacy of character, the future leader suffered strict rules and established boundaries.

It is Unknown what would have been the fate of the boy later, if not for his transfer to the economic sphere. Then the father returned from service in Europe. It was impressive newfangled young people's desire to study Finance, and he decided that such an approach to education of the son will be the most appropriate.

There have been many reforms that the salvation of the Motherland has become real. Ataturk Ankara met with all the honors. The Turkish Republic did not exist, but the first step has already been made – as the head of government was chosen by Ataturk Mustafa Kemal.

Turkish-Armenian war with the RSFSR

War of the Turks with the Armenians took place in three periods. At the time, Ataturk was a real leader of his country. He helped the Bolsheviks, both financial and military. Moreover, the Federation supported the Turks two years (1920 and 1922).

Greco-Turkish war with multiple casualties

The Exact starting date of the war is unknown. However, the Turks have decided to be may 15, 1919, the beginning of the confrontation with the Greeks. Then the Greeks landed in Izmir and the Turks fired the first shotsenemies. For the entire period of the battle were many key battles that often ended in victory for the Turks.

Just after one of them, the battle of Sakarya, the Turkish leader Mustafa Kemal Ataturk had received from the Grand national Assembly of Turkey the title of "Ghazi" and the new honorary title of Marshal.Turkish leader Mustafa Kemal Ataturk

In August 1922, atatürk decided to go on a final offensive, which was to decide the outcome of the war. Actually happened – from the point of view of tactics. The Greek army was destroyed, however, during the retreat not enough fleet for all soldiers and only a third managed to escape from the ambush. The rest were captured.

However, not taking into account tactics, both sides lost in this war. Both the Greeks and the Turks were brutal actions against the civilian population, and a huge number of people left homeless.

Achievements of the great ruler

When mention the name Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, a short biography should contain and achieve leader. Of course, the most impressive reforms took place after his appointment to the post of President. Immediately, in 1923, the country has adopted a new form of government - a Parliament and a Constitution.

The New capital of Turkey was appointed to Ankara. The reforms that followed after that was not built on the “repair” of the country, specifically for a full internal makeover. Kemal was convinced that fundamental changes need to fundamentally flip all in society, culture and economy.

The Impetus for the changes was the belief in “civilization”. This word was heard in every speech of the President, the global idea was to impose the Turkish society of Western European traditions and customs. During his reign, Kemal abolished not only the Sultanate but also the Caliphate. While many religious schools and colleges were closed.

A Splendid mausoleum in honor of the President

Anıtkabir (or Ataturk's Mausoleum) is the burial place of Mustafa Kemal in Ankara. Incredible and magnificent building is a popular attraction for tourists. The construction was planned in 1938 after the death of the President. The architects have tried to create such a monument of culture that for many centuries he outlined the greatness of this policy and the expression of grief of all Turkish people.atatürk is the burial place of Mustafa Kemal

To Build the mausoleum began only in 1944, and opened the facility after 9 years. Now the total area of the complex occupies more than 750 thousand square meters. Also inside are many sculptures that remind locals and tourists from around the world about the greatness of the departed ruler.Mustafa Kemal atatürk about the war

Opinion of the ruler

Public Opinion about Turkish President in two ways. Of course, people still read it, it is no wonder Ataturk think ‘father of the Turks». Many politicians also spoke flatteringly about the reign of Kemal. Hitler, for example, believed himself to be the second disciple of Ataturk, the first was considered Mussolini.

A thought leader, a brilliant ruler and, of course, a flawless military leader since Mustafa Kemal atatürk about the war knew "everything and more". Some still believed that his reforms were anti-democratic, and the desire to rebuild the country led to a rigid dictatorship.
