Abstract

The Turkish revolution is as much a" revolution "as it is a"reform " movement. Revolution is translated into Turkish as Revolution and uprising. In fact, it means the sudden change of an existing situation or a way of life or a social order, and it means the opposite of revolution (gradual change and evolution). There are many kinds; for example, technical revolution is the sudden emergence of a new tool or procedure. Political revolution is a bottom-up strain. Its aim is to bring about a new order and to take measures to protect it. For this purpose, it is necessary to reject the existing order, to gain the combative forces and to change those in power. The first requirement of revolutional changes is to strengthen existing resistance forces with attractive passwords, addressing the interests of the aggrieved classes. For this reason, sometimes ideologies, even if they lead to social utopias, play an important role in terms of revolutions. These provide striking power to revolutional action. Many times, after the first successes, there is a power struggle between the leaders of the revolution and between the radicals and the mutedites. Since revolutions are based on force, they often resort to terror methods.
