Mustafa Kemal, the leader of Turkish nationalists overthrew the last Ottoman sultan. He passed laws based on the European system. He developed a program to modernize Turkey and catch up with other countries. He also gave more rights to women. The clothing wasn't controlled anymore,itbecame more European. Ataturk basically made"westernized" Turkey. He made Turkey "secular" which means to separate religion from state, education, culture and legal affairs.
