Ulan elin yabancısı ABDli diplomat olayı çözmüş, Atatürk'ü anlamış, bizim cahil, 3 + 3'ü toplayamayan, kafayı dinle bozmuş, onu bile olması gerektiği gibi yaşayamayan şaklaban yobazlar çözememiş.
Yabancı bir sitede, Türkiye Kurtuluş Savaşı'nı nasıl kazandı sorusuna ABDli eski bir diplomatın verdiği yanıt. Şu basit yanıtta bile satır aralarında Atatürk'ü hayranlık gizli.
Three things come to mind:
- A change in leadership. Instead of the exhausted Ottoman sultan who had picked the wrong side in WWI, Turkey had a new leader: Ataturk. He was young, motivated, and had a clear idea of what he thought Turkey should be.
- Turkey was now fighting for a much smaller area, not the sprawling empire. This meant that the lines of communication were shorter and were all internal to the country. This makes it much easier to quickly move troops and supplies to where they're needed. In other words, the fighting becomes simpler.
- Ataturk called upon the Turks' own sense of identity and nationalism to fight what he portrayed as aggression and occupation. He didn't have to solicit the support of a dozen different ethnic groups and try to convince them to fight for something that may not have been to their own benefit.
Çok talep gelirse çeviririm. Ama basit bir dille yazılmış, genel anlamı çıkarması kolay.
