>>523847088The state of turkey and the modern turkish identity were initially in opposition to the ottomans and islam. They saw themselves as having been nothing but the useful pawns of the ottomans. They literally declared independence from the ottoman empire. It's only recently with the rule of Erdogan that they reclaimed the history of the ottoman empire. It's actually pretty common with every revolutionary movements, like how modern china initially rejected all of its history and now has completely reclaimed it.The turks in the 1920s started seeing themselves as a race and wanted to purify themselves. It was honestly like every autistic 20th century nationalist movement, like the nazis or the israelis. The turkish language initially had countless words of persian and arabic origin, and turks in general were far more muslim.

Turks were right about one thing, if you kill your enemies you win, purify your homeland and claim your destiny
