Mustafa Kemal Ataturk overthrew the Ottoman government who kept giving up land to the Allied Powers in World War 1. The Ottoman Sultan escaped Istanbul and went into exile never to be found again when Ataturk was near Yalova. The Sultan tried getting a British citizenship but never got approved. The British, French, Greek, Australians, New Zealanders, Russians, Arabs, and Armenians were all fought back by Ataturk to gain Turkish Independence.

The Caliphate was not overthrown but banished by Ataturk. If Ataturk got his hands on the last Sultan, he would have hanged the Sultan for selling Turkey and the Turks to the West. In the end, Ataturk pursued and got good ties and friendship with his former enemies. The later Turkish presidents followed and are still pursuing a better tie and role in the west.
