Details

Atatürk (born November 10, 1938) was a Turkish field marshal and statesman who was the founder of the Republic of Turkey and its first president from 1923 until his death in 1938. He led sweeping reforms and transformed Turkey into a secular, industrializing nation. Ideologically, he was a secularist, republican, and nationalist, and his policies and socio-political theories became known as Kemalism. The personality cult surrounding Atatürk and the Kemalist historiography based on it have had a significant and lasting influence on the political culture and historical narrative of Turkey.
