The early roots of the ideology began during the early 19th-century Tanzimant reforms in the late years of the Ottoman Empire when the Empire was trying to stop its collapse, of course, this merely delayed the inevitable. After the Young Ottoman movement ditched Ottoman Nationalism ([[File:Cball-Ottomanism.png]] Ottomanism) to stop the rising ethnic nationalism within the Empire in favor of Turkish nationalism becoming the Young Turks (no, not the American news tabloid) which sought to establish many things the Young Ottomans wanted to be established like a democracy. However, unlike the Young Ottomans, the Young Turks were in favour of secularism. The Young Turks inspired Atatürk greatly with their advocacy of democracy, Turkish nationalism, and secularism among other things. However, Ataturk was against their extreme ethnonationalism and ultranationalism and condemned the Armenian genocide. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the subsequent establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, Atatürk implemented these ideas as well as brought about more economically left reforms to the nation that the nation had never experienced before.
[[File:Ataturk.png]] Ataturk launched the [[w:Turkish War of Independence|Turkish War of Independence]] and single-handily defeated western and Greek imperialist's scheme to break up Turkey into pieces by the [[w:Treaty of Sèvres|Treaty of Sevres]] with the financial support and arms supplies of [[File:Lenin.png]] [[Leninism|Lenin’s new Soviet republic]]. He subsequently abolished the Caliphate and initiated a series of legal, social, cultural, and political reforms that lifted Turkey from the backward theocratic and feudalistic Ottoman Empire into a modernized, progressive, and secular republic. Ataturk also introduced free education and universal healthcare and improved the living conditions of the peasants and the standards of workers. Ataturk also implemented a program of [[File:Cultural Nationalism.png]] Turkification, known as “Citizens, Speak Turkish,” which aimed at encouraging ethnic minorities to speak Turkish and assimilate into the Turkish culture. However, they were allowed to speak their own language and practice their own culture as well. According to a survey by the Center for American Progress, 86% of Turks have a favorable view of Ataturk, and 52% have a very favorable view of him. This includes 80% of Islamist AKP voters and 61% of Kurdish nationalist HDP voters.<ref name=":0">[https://www.americanprogress.org/article/turkeys-new-nationalism-amid-shifting-politics/ ''"Turkey's 'New Nationalism' amid shifting policies"''], The American Progress.</ref>
Shortly after Turkey was proclaimed as a republic, Ataturk endorsed the policy of peace at home, peace in the world, and restored its relationship with Britain and Greece. The New Turkish Republic amended all unequal tariff treaties that the Ottoman Empire had with foreign powers and forged a strong alliance with the USSR as both countries signed the friendship pact, the Treaty of Moscow in 1921, and a non-aggression pact in 1925. It also regained control of the Turkish Straits by 1936 with the Montreux Convention, which saw Turkey fully regaining its sovereignty from foreign imperialist powers. Kemalist Turkey also formed the non-aggression [[w:Saddabad Pact|Saddabdad Pact]] with its neighbors, including [[File:RezaShah.png]] [[Social Authoritarianism|Reza Shah’s Iran]], [[File:ZahirShah.png]] [[Constitutional Monarchism|Mohammad Zahir Shah’s Afghanistan]], and Iraq to promote regional peace and friendly cooperations. It also formed the [[w:Balkan Pact|Balkan Pact]] with Yugoslavia, Greece, and Romania to resist the imperialist expansionist ambitions of [[File:Mussolini.png]] [[Fascism|Fascist Italy]] and Tsarist Bulgaria.

*[[File:Castro.png]] [[National Communism|Castroism]] - “I am watching Turkey closely. Ataturk, great man, great soldier. Ataturk defeated the British... He went down in history as a soldier and an intellectual, and wrote history as a very important person. I couldn't make a change in order like he did."<ref name=":0" /> Thank you for your praise, even though we don't like your system, I like that you are anti-imperialist.
*[[File:Patcon.png]] [[Paternalistic Conservatism]] - Good economics and nationalism, bad social policies.
*[[File:Natcon.png]] [[National Conservatism]] - Similar to the above. Nationalism is hella based but conservatism is not.
