Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was a revolutionist who replaced the Ottoman Empire and established a new, more modern and Western Republic- Turkey, one of the most powerful countries in the Middle East. He made Turkey a secular nation by introducing contemporary 20th Century reforms such as replacing the Arabic alphabet with the Latin, and the Islamic calendar with the Christian. He separated church from state and was one of the first to give women political rights such as the right to vote, even before Great Britain did.
