Mustafa Kemal was born on March 12, 1881 in Salonika, Ottoman Empire. He was the military and political leader who changed the Ottoman Empire into a modern country, which we now call Turkey.He fought for his countries independence against all odds. He wanted to modernize Turkey because he wanted the people to live happily, equally and with dignity. Also he wanted to lead his country without crumbling it. He also wanted Turkey to have a brave new future by making the country, government and the education more secular. The word secular means not religious.
Secular was one of the major roles that played during the modernization because people could practice any religion they wanted to. Also he made some reforms on turkey by eliminating the old tradition and adapting new ones.
