ANZAC

Last week we were learning about ANZAC and I was working with Skyla we did some research about Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.Why he was famous  Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was born in 1881 in the former Ottoman Empire. As a young man, he was involved with the Young Turks, a revolutionary group that deposed the sultan in 1909. Ataturk led the Turkish War of Independence and signed the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923, which made Turkey a republic. Interesting facts about Mustafa.
  • Mustafa Kemal was the Turkey's first president
  • He is thr Trukish army leader for the world war 1
  • He replaced the Arabic alphabet with a Latin one and introduced the Gregorian calendar to Turkey.
  • The name Kemal came later. At 12 years old, Mustafa was sent to the military academy in Istanbul.

  • He was born March 12, 1881, in Salonika, which was then known as part of the Ottoman Empire, today his birthplace is known as Thessalonika, in modern-day Greece.
