Why did Mustafa Kemal, later to become known as "Atatürk," chose to make Turkey a secular republic? How successful was he? Did he have a hand in the Armenian Genocide? Why did the Turks then ethnically cleanse its land of Greeks and other populations? Did you realize that Turkey basically avoided any major conflicts with other nations afterwards?
