Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Mustafa Kemal modernized Turkey and made it more secular. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
He was to go give Turkey dignity,equality and make them happy. Throughout his modernization a secular government
and education played a big role in it. He made changes to the whole country. One change was that he became a powerful
leader he defeated all who opposed him. He had put end to the Ottoman empire. He was a military hero when he came back from the Dardanelles in 1915. It was then that he decided to lead his nation to liberation. Even peasants, who were greatly ignored in the Ottoman Empire, were considered important. Secular is when religious belief should not influence public and governmental decisions. In other country's Religion would be a Law. The life of people who lived in Turkey changed. Mustafa was the president of turkey for a long time and he made lots of changes to his country.
