Turkey became a country in the early 20th century following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after World War I. The Turkish War of Independence, led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk between 1919 and 1923, resulted in the establishment of a sovereign nation. The Treaty of Lausanne in 1923 formally recognized the Republic of Turkey, which Atatürk transformed into a secular, nationalist state. This marked the transition from the multi-ethnic Ottoman Empire to a modern nation-state centered on Turkish identity.
