Abstract

M'1cedonia is well known in history for its great son5 :
Alexander the Great and Justinianus are two distinguished figures among these autstanding statesmen. Another
leader, who led history into new paths, was also born in
this land. He created a new republic in Anatolia. The
historical role of this leader has been variously in interpreted and evaluated among his countrymen and among
foreigners. Official turkish historiography and some popular westem sources seem to argue that Turkey, a country
living under the despotism of sultans, and a people with a
medieval standard of !iving, were led through Atatürk's
reforms into the modem age. According to the ir descriptions, Atatürk was a superman even among the leading
figures of history.
