M.Kemal Atatürk
"Peace at Home, Peace in the World..."
Emerging as a
military hero at the Dardanelles in 1915, he became the charismatic
leader of the Turkish national liberation struggle in 1919. He blazed
across the world scene in the early 1920s as a triumphant commander
who crushed the invaders of his country. Following a series of
impressive victories against all odds, he led his nation to full
independence. He put an end to the antiquated Ottoman dynasty whose
tale had lasted more than six centuries - and created the Republic of
Turkey in 1923, establishing a new government truly representative of
the nation's will.
As President for 15 years, until his death in 1938, Mustafa Kemal
Atatürk introduced a broad range of swift and sweeping reforms - in
the political, social, legal, economic, and cultural spheres -
virtually unparalleled in any other country.
His achievements in Turkey are an enduring monument to Atatürk.
Emerging nations admire him as a pioneer of national liberation. The
world honors his memory as a foremost peacemaker who upheld the
principles of humanism and the vision of a united humanity. Tributes
have been offered to him through the decades by such world statesmen
as Lloyd George, Churchill, Roosevelt, Nehru, de Gaulle, Adenauer,
Bourguiba, Nasser, Kennedy, and countless others. A White House
statement, issued on the occasion of "The Atatürk Centennial" in 1981,
pays homage to him as "a great leader in times of war and peace". It
is fitting that there should be high praise for Atatürk, an
extraordinary leader of modern times.
