Mustafa Kemal modernize Turkey by making turkey a republican party. Before Mustafa came into the picture, Turkey was run by the Ottoman Empire. When Mustafa came into power, woman got the right to vote in the year 1934. He also introduced Turkey to secularism. Secularism is when Religion is seperated from all public affairs such as state laws, education, and cultural affairs. The laws in Turkey were now not based on religion anymore. Religion was treated seperatly and not used for the laws and other stuff. He also reformed the country of Turkey, replacing traditional concepts with more modern concepts. His revolution was based on the reforms he made in Turkey. Nationalism was also part of his revolution to moderinize Turkey. His idea of nationalism is not racism, its preserving the independence of Turkey and also to help the political development of Turkey. It respected the independence and the right to their own independence of each nation. Turkeys modernization was based on ecnomical and technological developments in Turkey.
