In this study, first of all, turkey's war economy and the laws passed during war time are mentioned. Then the process of enforcing and implementing the National Protection Law was explained. Finally, changes in the law were mentioned during the republican people's party and the Democratic Party. The young Republic of Turkey struggled to exist in material difficulties. After winning the national struggle, he founded his economy on independence. He followed a planned economic program. However, both the debts of the Ottoman State and the 1929 Economic Crisis have negatively affected Turkey's economy. The outbreak of World War II also affected the struggling economy. Although Turkey did not go to war, it experienced the economic difficulties of the war. The young population was taken into arms, production fell and there was a shortage of goods in the market. It has taken some precautions to overcome these challenges. One of these measures is the National Protection Act. The law, which is the return of the conditions of war, gave the government powers to be used in emergency situations. The state by law; confiscation, price-setting, etc. With the introduction of the law, it has sparked controversy. Inconsistencies have been observed in the application. With the change of government, there have been changes in practice. Over time, some changes have been made to the articles of law. After the end of World War II, the law continued to be enforced. The National Protection Law, Asset Tax and Land Crops Tax issued during the war has further solidified the Republican People's Party's understanding of statism. This situation has made the public very uncomfortable. When the Democratic Party came to power, it criticized strict statism. Overwhelmed by economic hardship, the people supported the new party. However, this law continued to be implemented during the DP period. DP applied to the National Protection Act when the economy deteriorated. Finally, the law was repealed in 1960.
