Mustafa Kemal, was a military leader who successfully took a group of the nations nationalists and over through the ottoman sultan who was weak and corrupt. He succeded in reforming Turkey and making it more modernized and more secular.
One thing Mustafa Kermal did was seperate Islamic Laws From the Nation laws. He basically sepereated rules of religeon from the laws of the country. Also in the attempt of modernizing Turkey and making it more European, He removed religious courts and made an english system of court. Like the ones with have today. He also made it so women had rights, such as voting / official jobs. He also made government funded programs.
Kemal also banished old traditions. Instead of government officials going to work with a fez and whatever else they wore, He made them wear suits and ties. He wanted them to look like European buisness men and workers. His influence was so strong they followed him and when he died they gave him the name father of the turks because of what he did for his country.
