If Atatürk had lived to see World War II, how would the role

>>1444568
I can't see him getting Tukey involved in that kind of hatchet fight, especially with his experiences in WW1.

At MOST, he'd join the allies in like 1944 but not actually do much of anything.

>>1444593
Inonu did exactly that.

France gave Turkey Hatay province in return for neutrality in WWII. Tough to see Ataturk passing up that deal.

Is it true that Ataturk hated Islam?

Based Ataturk

>>1444880
given the current state of Turkey, I wonder if he's spinning hard enough in his grave for use as a power source

>>1444870
Probably no, and would have at most hated individual clerics for their politics while being mostly neutral or agnostic. Quotes like >>1444880 begin to surface in the political debates between Kemalists and Islamists decades later, and can't be traced to Ataturk himself.

Which is kind of ironic. Like it's almost Hadith.

Wtf is that rightful Syrian clay? Have the Arabs there ever tried to secede(before 2011 kek) or did they prefer it there?

>>1444568
he would have fully backed hitler from the start and mentally helped him too, they would have made a great partnership and the world would be a better place now with the good guys winning

if he would come back from the dead he would shoot himself immediately when he would find out hitler lost

You don't know anything about history

Attatürk was AGAINST Turkey's involvement in WW1, that was the entire thing, he was a pacifist and he would have never joined WW2

>>1449241
He wasn't a pacifist, anon.

He was just a nationalist who didn't want Turkey in a war that wouldn't benefit Turks.

>>1449317
Well yeah he did attack Greece, but I think after that he did say he wanted Turkey to be in peace

>>1444568

Almost certainly no differently. Ataturk's defining foreign policy doctrine was "Peace at home, peace abroad" as he sought to create a stable regional environment for his fledgling nation state. He was painfully aware of Turkey's inadequacies in terms of industrialisation and would not have pitted Turkey against the Soviets and the British and French. In fact, he heavily criticised Enver Pasha for making the call to join the Germans in WW1.

At most he might have been more opportunistic in joining the Allies earlier in exchange for key pieces of clay but Turkey's overall contribution to the war was never likely to be anything significant.

>Well yeah he did attack Greece

What the fuck are you talking about? The Greco-Turkish War was prompted by a Greek invasion of Asia Minor.
