Ataturk and foreign affairs

After declaring the republic, the government faced a tough situation. Actually, all of the problems they faced were very difficult. New Turkish state fought with seven countries for the freedom. That’s why the foreign affairs had changed. The world recognized the new Turkish State by signing Lausanne Treaty.

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was very careful in that level. He had never gone abroad because of security and recognition of new Turkish State. He aimed the peaceful world, and he planned to make pacts to protect the peace. All of the Westen leaders visited Istanbul and Ankara. Mostly those visits were peaceful. Foreign affairs were based on peace and recognition of Turkish Republic.

Thanks to Ataturk’s wise moves, Turkish Republic is still being respected in the world.
