Turkey tried to westernize and modernize in the early 20th century under Mustafa Kemal Atatürk to catch up with European nations, improve economic development, and strengthen its military to defend against external threats. Atatürk believed that adopting Western political, social, and economic practices was necessary to secure Turkey's place in the modern world and promote its progress as a nation.
