Nationalism and Peace: The Signifiance of Atatürk's Movement

Öz

Atatürk is known throughout the world as a vietorious
commander and leader who fought both against the invading Greek forees and the Entente Powers and as an able
statesman who initiated unpreeedented reforms with the
aim of transform'İng an underdeveloped, illiterate, and
rural population into a developed, modern, and eivilized
people. However, Atatürk's thoughts and aetions on peace,
international understanding, and prerequisites for the ultimate sueeess of anti-imperialist movements in general are
not widely known, at least outside of Turkey. The principal
aim of this short essay is to try to elueidate these aspeets
of Atatürk's thinking. it might then become possible to
say that even taday, more than sixty years after the Turkish
struggle, Atatürk's example of national liberation and
eonstruetion is unsurpassed.
