Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk) and The Modenization Of Turkey

Mustaka Kemal took a decision that changed turkey completely. He decided to make the country of turkey completely non-religous. This affected turkey because religion influenced many people's culture's and its reallyhard to just change your whole life that was based on your ancenstors and religion just because this guy tells you to be non-religous. Mustafa Kemals idea was to modernize turkey and to make turkey like the other countries. Being modernized does not mean that you completely have to erase religion; that is where he went wrong and so turkey's religion was non-religuos until Mustafa Kemals was there.
