Revolts (Turkish War of Independence)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page will include the revolts against the Turkish Revolutionaries. It does not include the revolts after the establishment of Republic of Turkey, as this page intended to cover the period during the Turkish War of Independence.

Kemal Ataturk, who was the leader of the nationalist government of Turkey during the war of independence was primarily concerned about subduing the internal revolts and establishing domestic security. To achieve this end, the parliament passed the Law of Treachery to the Homeland and established Mobile Gendarmerie Troops. These revolts had the effect of delaying the nationalist movement's struggle against the occupying foreign forces.
