You wish you had my mustache
Kemal Ataturk was known to be the reason Turkey was modernized, for he created many reforms that led to his success. He had reforms that included the political economical, and social aspects of the nation. For political, he was the reason that Turkey eventually gained a republic government in 1922, instead of being ruled by the Ottoman Empire. He was also known to be the first President of Turkey.This shows how Ataturk was very interested in westernizing Turkey, for this type of government was from the Western hemisphere. For economical, he had the country create "industrial facilities." This was in a way, Turkey's industrial revolution, for it caused products formed from industries to be created more efficiently, in which happened in the West as well. Finally, there were many social reforms he created also. One main aspect he addressed was the rights of women. Ataturk created many reforms involving women, for he allowed them to have equal rights in education, in domestic issues, and in political rights as well. In fact, since Ataturk gave women the same rights as men in political aspects, it eventually caused Turkey to become the first country in the world to have a women as a supreme court justice. Also for social reforms, Kemal had the nation introduced to international hours, measuring units and the international numeric system. This caused not only for Turkey to become more advancements in mathematics, but also helped Turkey to not be as isolated from the rest of the world as they were before and since Turkey now understood some international topics that were known throughout the world, it would became easier understand other countries about certain things, like the time differences. These were just a few of the many reforms Kemal Ataturk declared to help Turkey become more modernized and be known a hero for his nation.
