Abstract

Following the war of independence, modernization was an inevitable need for Turkish society. On the other hand, the whole world wanted to see the new Turkish state, which had ratified its independence in Lausanne, with its contemporary qualities, and to adopt it with its contemporary qualities. During the war of independence and especially in the years following the war of Independence, Atatürk emphasized the concepts of "civilization and modernization" in almost all his speeches.
