Definition

  • Kemalism is the collection of political principles assembled by Mustapha Kemal (later Ataturk; 1881–1938), who is credited with founding the Republic of Turkey in 1923. Kemalism has served as the basis for state nationalism in Turkey, although many of its principles have eroded or been challenged since the 1970s.
