I think you know the battles between us(Turkiye)&Australians in Gallipoli. We struggled to each other so heavily and there was many soldiers dead from each country. In fact, this war didnt belong to each other, too. And after this war, who could say we would be very very good allies? Anyway, I am coming to the point now, just want to know whether do u know Ataturk or not.

Ataturk is well known to older Australians but I don't know if younger ones are taught about him in schools these days. He might have been Australia's enemy ninety years ago but he is held in high regard and recognised as the founder of modern Turkey.

Oh your call is Turkish, so which you're able to have conventional all of those.. learn somewhat approximately your historic previous.. Dont be a stupid turkish. Ataturk has by no ability been married and he didnt have a infant. He observed a woman. Ottoman Empire became into helping greater islamic united states of america, yet Ataturk delivered the favourite democratic advancements and conventional the Turkish Republic. All Turkish modern-day youngsters is his grandchildren. we are continually open to those sort of questions yet don't have tolerance to those that insult our chief and grandfather!

Unfortunately the Australian education system has badly neglected history in schools for a number of years. The good news is that I know quite a lot about Ataturk. An excellent and inspirational leader.

no, sorry.
But War Heros for Australians are more like Simpson, the man and his donkey.
He would carry wounded soldiers back to the hospital on the beach. He started like others, carrying a stretcher with another medic, but knew guys were waiting for an hour or more before a stretcher could get to where fighting was still going on. Too many died that way.
So he got a donkey and went into the kill zone to pick up the wounded.
To us, there was a hero that saved friends, not killed enemies.

I am sorry I don't know who Ataturk is. I studied Australian War History, but I am sure they glorify Australia and give us a bias view on it all. I will know read up on Ataturk so that I know a bit about him.

Hi I am really ashamed as I do not know anything about him. I am aware of the fighting that took place and the huge death toll on both sides. I am going to do some research and learn more about this man. Cheers.
