Kemal Ataturk
1881 CE–1938 CE · Ankara
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was a Turkish military commander and statesman who founded the Republic of Turkey and served as its first president from 1923 until his death in 1938. After distinguishing himself in the First World War, he led the nationalist movement in the Turkish War of Independence, which resisted the partition of Anatolia and led to the abolition of the Ottoman sultanate. As president he carried out sweeping reforms that secularized the state, adopted a Latin-based alphabet and Western legal codes, and reshaped Turkish society and government. The surname Atatürk, meaning "Father of the Turks," was conferred on him in 1934.
