LEGENDARY FIGURE THEME 3

Things were not over. It was just a beginning. His
duty as a commander was over. Now, it was time
to become a statesman, an economist, and a
teacher. While his friends were discussing the new
regime, he suddenly said, ‘’We are going to declare
the Republic, tomorrow.’’ He managed it. It was
October 29, 1923. Then, he went on to introduce his
revolutions in many fields such as introducing the
Latin Alphabet on November 1, 1928, establishing
the Central Bank of the Turkish Republic on June
5, 1931, giving women the right to vote
on December 5, 1934 . While he
was making the revolutions, he
worked day and night. Soon,
the poor country of war turned
into a strong, modern, and
independent state. He had
only a short time to enjoy
his new state before
he passed away on
November 10, 1938.
While his coffin
was passing by,
millions were
crying. Some of
them were the
commanders
of the Allied
Forces.
