Mustafa Kemal(Ataturk) and the Modernization of Turkey

Mustafa Kemal helped Turkey in many ways. He let turkey to a full independent country. He won many battles and crushed any invader in the country. He also ended the Ottoman Dynasty which had lasted already for 6 centuries! He created the Republic or Turkey in 1923. He changed some cultures, the Fez for an example.... He didn't want people to use the fez because it represented bad things. He changed it to a hat more like a western hat, and he clearly stated that it was called a hat and nothing else. He was a president for 15 years. He died in 1938.

Secular- Is an activity aside from the religio for example playing a game has nothing to do with relion. (non-reliosity)
