Today I will show you how Ankara become the capital of Turkey.
After the Ottoman defeat at World War I, Istanbul and Anatolia were occupied by the Allies. They planned to share these territories Armenia, France, Greece, Italy and the United Kingdom. But the leader of the Turkish nationalist movement, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, in 1920 made Ankara his new main office. On 13 October 1923 Ankara officially became the new Turkish capital city.On 29 October 1923, the Turkish nationalists replaced the Ottoman Empire with the Republic of Turkey and of course, Atatürk was the first president.
