Turkish revolutionaries
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Turkish revolutionaries (in Turkish Kuvayi Milliye or Kuvai Milliye) were nationalists of Turkish national movement who rebelled against the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire by the allies aftermath of the Armistice of Mudros during World War I. After the establishment of the Turkish national movement and the successful independence war, they established the independent state that became the Republic of Turkey.
Turkish revolutionaries were mainly influenced by ideas flourishing during the Tanzimat period. Turkish revolutionaries should not be associated with the Young Turk movement of the same period, which was tightly bound to the Ottoman State. Turkish revolutionaries indeed were not a homogenous group of people, as they had different ideas on social and political issues. There were years that most of them did not communicate with each other, even though they occupied major points of the social and political structures. The common idea that held them together was having a sovereign nation.
