Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was the founder of the turkish republic and its first president. He used a theory of kemalism to modernize turkey. He used various things known as the 6 arrows to do so.
One of them was republicanism. The Kemalist reforms was known as a political revolution. They wanted a change from the ottoman empire, and wanted to be individually reconized as their own country. They dident want to be known as only a part of the empire but its own republic. Ataturk believed that it is only the republican regime which can really respect and honer its people and did what it needed.
Another thing he used was populism. The [kemal] revolution was also a social revolution. This part of the revolution was lead by people who really cared about the people insted of just the rich people or the goverment. This lead way to womens civil rights and evenully the swiss civil code. this gave women the right to vote in 1934. ataturk also stated that the true rulers of turkey were the peasants. the principle of populism it was stated that Kemalism was against class privileges and class distinctions and it recognized no individual, no family, no class and no organization as being above others.
anoter important thing that he used was secularism. this was when he wanted to seperate religion from education, cultural and legal affairs. the reson for this was that he wanted everyone in turkey to make up there own minds about religion and how were they to do that if religion was a part of everything and anytrhing they. it would eventully lead to dicrimination and thats not what he was trying to accomplish. he just wanted them to be free to do whatever they felt and belived.
he did alot for turkey, including outlawed some hats, made them were suits and ties, making them look less islamic and more modernized like the europeans. this eventully lead to a independant modernized turkey.
