Mustafa Kemal

Mustafa Kemal was a leader, and even the president of Turkey. He fought strongly for Ottoman Empire Independence. Mustafa Kemal was president for 15 years and wanted to modernize the people of Turkey. The European and American fashion was highly influential to him. He wasn't too fond of religion either, especially since before Turkey Independence, it was filled with Muslims. He even banned fez, a hat that people wore. He also wasn't very fond of people wearing long dresses. Before he died, he united the country with freedom and created a secular government. Mustafa Kemal was a very interesting leader.
