Turkey
Dear Emily,
In Turkey we have ended World War 1 with our leader Kemal Ataturk but we have givin him a new more important name even though he has changed our culture but he got us through World War 1 so his new name is Mustafa Kemal which means “father of all turks.” But some of the items he ban were fez’s and everyone had to wear western clothes but at the end it was all terrific. When Kemal Ataturk appeared in 1925 dressed in western clothing and a hat with a brim he told all turkish men they must wear this to. But the men felt that not wearing a fez is like giving up your Muslim religion. One Muslim man wore bandages on his head so he didn’t have to wear the hat with the brim. Also, women are not aloud to wear viels to cover thier faces. But, he also gave Turkish women the right to vote. Kemal even made an alphabet based on the Roman one and ordered all sighnes to be printed in that alphabet.
