Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was born in Salonika, the city which was the base for donmeh jews and Sabbatai Zevi.
His role was to complete the destruction of the Ottoman empire to pave the way for the theft of Palestine and the creation of the greater israel project.
In Turkey there is a law forbidding any criticism of Ataturk punishable to 3 years of prison. (Turkish law 5816)
Atatürk's image is placed on every Turkish Lira note! One side of any Lira is always reserved for the crypto jew.
Didn't realise. That's probably modern programming, rewriting the narrative. The nation that now is, not what was. Because he brought reform and change. Turkey is now a country not an Empire. Did they teach what the Ottomans were prior? How they formed. How is it taught. I don't know enough about this subject. Except then sweeping change happened, WW1, the banks brought the fall of Empires, becoming divided into countries, profiting the globalist, not the Monarchs or Emperor's, later WW2 becoming corporations. The banks and corps won. We have mass consumption. Yes human rights, ironically taxes, higher costs of living, regulations, and with them increasing services and consumption.
The eye of the beholder. A hero or a villain. The World changes. As it does sometimes things are lost and others are gained as change occurs, often violently. It normally is the result of technology driving it. Narratives get reformed and often replace the traditions behind them. But do we gain freedom, is the only question?
In Turkish schools they spin Ataturk as a leader who salvaged the remains of the Ottoman empire and that without him all would have been lost and Turkey would have been even further divided. They teach them a bit about the Ottoman empire but the focus is on how Ataturk built the great modern and secular Turkey.
Ataturk even scrubbed the use of Arabic letters and changed them into latin. thus making a complete break from its previous history. Women were not allowed to wear the hijab in public institutions. He forced the change away from the old.
Also in Turkey if you ever visit it, except for some mosques and palaces here and there, most of the old buildings have been destroyed, like communism in China. After the fall of the Ottoman empire they destroyed most of the older neighborhoods to "modernize".
Hmm, didn't realise. Sounds like a bunch of narratives added after the collapse and break up, and then the later treaties. Until today it's a modern concentric narrative. False in some ways, true in others.
I didn't know that Women wore the hijab historically? I thought much of the Ottoman Empire was Liberal on that, unless in certain city states. Because of the slave trade, selling nudes in the bazaars. Yes the devout. But didn't Shira law come later?
The Ottomans were a history of wars, both internal and opposing, and it shed more and more territory.
It didn't have a strongman at its helm, not entirely since its heydays, the only times Islam fully united were often by jihads. Becoming divided from within and from without. Some places perhaps did, and they were warred with, others aligned for more power, and status, and influence. Didn't Persia oppose it. That feud goes back to the dawn of Islam. Possibly Shia, Sunni. Some opposing claims were granted status. Others were defeated in battle. Morocco is another similar story and many others.
Of course the Ottomans sided with the Germans and Austrians WW1, the Imperialists versus the Globalists. Empires lost, and banks and corps started flooding in. Oil became popular and flight and the automobile. The first oil fields outside of America, were former Ottoman territories, Caspian, Russia faster claimed and influenced, and Libya had a few different conquests from competing Europeans. Of course parts of the Caspian like the Balkans were already breaking away for longer. While Egypt had been ever since the rekindling of Egyptology, Napoleon. Of course it then warred against with the Seuz.
Shortened version. No I don't know all of it. Change happens, driven by technology, and trade, and competition. Most is hard fought. Then the narratives are rewritten.
By hijab I mean the head scarf, it was all over the Ottoman empire and if I am not mistaken also in Europe.
Maybe in North Africa they had nude slaves from some old photos I've seen online but really I don't know how popular that was throughout the Ottoman empire. The image the Europeans got about the Ottomans was mostly through orientalists who spent most of their time in brothels then went to write books about the empire. Orientalism by Edward Said is a good book to read.
In opinion, maybe a misconception, but for the far more devout. These may have included the Bedouins empowered who went to war against the Ottomans. They possibly had such customs. Not looking at another man's possessions. Women perhaps were kept strictly away. Resources, water, hard fought over.
Yes in North Africa, the slave trade was constant. However it was throughout the Ottoman Empire. Documented all across the region. It was any slave, or indentured servant. No customary wrappings, dressed nude, chained, or whatever. Society I imagine would be far more formal. No not all pictures document women in the headscarf.
And yes the Headscarf was a part of tradition in Europe for centuries. Was it a crime not to wear it. No, just a custom, common sense. Until slowly changing.
For example Indians, were often nude, bare breasted, until the British abolished it, making them cover.
Thank you I'll look at the recommendations
