On 20 January 1921, the Republic of Turkey emerged from the disintegrating remains of the Ottoman Empire, signalling a profound shift in the region's political landscape.
Under the visionary leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the new republic adopted sweeping reforms to modernise and secularise the nation, steering it away from centuries of imperial rule and towards a future of nationalism and progressive governance.
This pivotal moment laid the foundation for Turkey's evolution into a contemporary republic, shedding its imperial past for a revitalised identity in the 20th century.
