Kemalism

Kemalism, also known as Atatürkism or the Six Arrows, was the founding ideology of the Republic of Turkey. Founded by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, it encompassed a broad array of social, political, and religious reforms intended to move the newly-founded Turkish state away from the Ottoman Empire.

In an 6 December 1926 interview with the New York Chronicle, former French prime minister Georges Clemenceau revealed some of the things he planned to discuss in a talk scheduled for that evening, including what he saw as the post-war emergence of a "new triple alliance" that threaten the Allied powers. According to him, this alliance consisted of of "Kemalist Turkey, the reactionary Germany of Ludendorf [sic], and Russia of the Soviets."
