| - The Turkish Civil War (Turkish: iç Harbi, literally meaning "Internal War" or Kurtuluş Savaşı, literally meaning "Liberation War;" May 19, 1919 – July 24, 1923) was a war waged by Turkish nationalists against the Ottoman government. After the Armistice of Mudros most of the country remained occupied following World War I. Although the Ottoman Empire was on the side of the Central Powers, who won the war, the Ottoman military was defeated in the Middle East. The Turkish National Movement (Kuva-yi Milliye) in Anatolia culminated in the formation of a new Grand National Assembly (GNA) by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his colleagues. After the end of the Turkish-Armenian and Franco-Turkish wars, the Berlin treaties were abandoned and the Treaty of Lausanne was signed in July 1923. The Grand National Assembly of Turkey decided the establishment of a Republic in Turkey which was declared on October 29, 1923. With the establishment of the Turkish National Movement, the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire and the abolition of the sultanate, the Ottoman era and the Empire came to an end, and with Atatürk's reforms the Turks created a modern, secular nation-state on the political front.
