Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
Founder and first President of the Republic of Turkey (1881–1938) who led the Turkish War of Independence after the Ottoman Empire's collapse and then carried out sweeping modernizing reforms — abolishing the caliphate, replacing Arabic script with the Latin alphabet, and separating religion from state — that transformed Turkey into a secular republic.
