"unionists were nationalistic and had great ideals, but they were a team that couldn't evaluate themselves, which led them to failure. Mustafa kemal (atatürk) established the national unity in syria, then came to macedonia the following year, and from there, he fled to trabzon. When he finishes his duty in trablusgarp, he comes to the balkan war again. This situation has obviously had a tremendous impact on him and his thoughts. After the first world war, turkish society opted for the national struggle rather than chaos and a new world war. The ottoman empire wasn't the only empire to crumble thanks to nationalist movements
however, neither russia nor austria-hungary had seen such active and armed nationalist movements. "the old arabians in the trend we rode in 1967, ""oh, where is that ottoman!" They were getting closer.
the answer is thought-provoking.
we don't know who chased the ottoman, whether he was chased with us. In 1918, amidst the darkest days of the war, people were resisting everywhere.
but there was no coordination between these resistances.
what political wit would provide that quip? But behind him, a commander with military success and distinguished honors… mustafa kemal ataturk. The second world war left behind a far greater number of dead than it killed on the front lines.
