Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk) and the Modernization of Turkey

Mustafa Kemal also known as Ataturk-the father, modernized Turkey in many ways. For one, he abolished the fez- a round hate without a brim. He also wanted all the peoplee to wear boots or shoes,, with trousers and a shirt and tie. Like a modern European. Also, he did not want the women covering their faces and heads and turn away and huddle themselves to the ground just because a man passes by. He changed their written language by changing many characters and their letters to more modern ones. This way the language would be easier to learn and more people would be literate.
