Mustafa Kemal ( Ataturk) & the modernization of Turkey

Mustafa Kemal modernized and made Turkey more secular when he did things that not regarded as religious or spiritual, because He wanted to change Tukey's way of life style into a new "nationality". Mustafa made people dressed up not like they were used to according to their culture, However they had to dressed up like Europeans and Americans instead.
For example he wanted them to wear regular hats instead of fez, or even wear with the regular North America style.
Mustafa created a new system of modernized turkish writing... Obviously people didn't like these new system, however they had to learn it somehow.
