The present study of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey, is primarily a biographical sketch, but includes the most significant events of the period in which Ataturk lived. Ataturk is so much part of Turkey, and Turkey so much a part of Ataturk, that one can say without undue exaggeration that the history of Turkey from 1923 to 1938 was the history of the achievements of Ghazi Mustafa Kemal, the Father of the Turks.
