Everything about Turkish Revolutionaries totally explained
Turkish revolutionaries (
Turkish:
Kuvâyi Milliye or
Kuvva-i Milliye) were
patriots of the
Turkish national movement who rebelled against the
partitioning of the Ottoman Empire by the
Allies in the aftermath of the
Armistice of Mudros which ended the
Ottoman Empire's participation in
World War I; and against the
Treaty of Sèvres in 1920, which was signed by the Ottoman government and partitioned
Anatolia.
After the
establishment of the Turkish national movement and the successful
Turkish War of Independence, the revolutionaries abolished the
Ottoman Sultanate on November 1, 1922, and proclaimed the
Republic of Turkey on October 29, 1923.
Turkish revolutionaries were mainly influenced by ideas which flourished during the
Tanzimat period. The revolutionaries shouldn't be associated with the
Young Turk movement of the same era, which was tightly bound to the Ottoman State and the ideals of
Ottomanism. Turkish revolutionaries indeed were not a homogenous group of people, as they'd different ideas on social and political issues. There were years in which most of them didn't communicate with each other, even though they presided over the major social and political institutions. The common idea which held them together was having a
sovereign nation.
