Turkey’s History Since 1945
Introduction
Turkey, which is also referred to as the Republic of Turkey is a transcontinental nation in Eurasia, majorly in Western Asia, Anatolia with a minor section being in Southeast Europe, Balkan Peninsula. The country is a secular, democratic, parliamentary republic, unitary with a cultural heritage that is very diverse. Turkey was founded in 1923 after it conquered Ottoman Empire remnants. After it was founded, the country formed secular laws that replaced the conventional religious fiats. The country joined the United Nations I 1945 and became a member of NATO in 1952. Currently, the country is famous for being a good tourist destination with so many destination varieties for tourists (Roxburgh, 2005).
International Relations
Until 1960s, the foreign policy of Turkey was majorly based on close link with the Western countries especially the US. The country was more aligned with the United States since it wanted to benefit from its economic aid as well as its military and also Turkey wanted to be accepted by the US as a democratic, secular and Western nation. It was until 1960 that Turkey began to question its foreign policy due to the augmentation of political and economical corporation with Western Europe and the economic growth that began to be visible in the Middle Eastern nations. After the Cyprus events, Turkey even more doubted its association with the United States. Turkey saw the need to protect its citizens that were then in Cyprus. In 1974, after the president of Cyprus was overthrown, a union began between Greece and Cyprus. It is these events that led Turkey to broaden its relations even though it continued to be an alley of the US.
In 1964, Turkey improved its Soviet Union’s relations which led to an agreement of friendship in 1978. The country also developed good relations with Central Asia and Transcaucasian States especially those that had majorities of citizens speaking Turkish. In 1971, the country improved its relations with Islamic and Arabic worlds, China as well as Balkan nations. Despite Turkey’s numerous relations with different countries, the country has been accused of having fluctuations when it comes to international issues. The country has been seen portraying policy reversals when it comes to global and regional issue. For instance in 2010 Turkey began to befriend Syria through eliminating entry visas between the two nations and conducting many top-dignitary visits. This move was said to be in an effort to obtain social and economic changes in Damascus. Unfortunately, the plan did not go as planned (Roxburgh, 2005).
Turkish Ideologies
The Turkish nationalism has two ideologies that are associated with it namely Turanism or Pan – Turkism and Neo-ottomans. The Turanism also known as Pan-Turkism or Pan- Turanism is a nationisist political and cultural movement that was founded in the 19th centur ...

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

economy by International Monetary Fund. (IMF). It is largely
developed making Turkey one of the world’s newly
industrialized countries.
44. Major Time Periods
i) 1923-1929
when development policy emphasized private accumulation
ii) 1929-1945
when development policy emphasized state accumulation in a
period of global crises.
iii) 1950-1980
when a period of state guided industrialization based on
import substituting protectionism.
45. iv) 1980 onwards
opening of the Turkish economy to liberal trade in
goods, services and financial market transactions.
During the first six decades of the republic, between
1923 and 1983, Turkey has mostly adhered to a quasistatist approach with strict government planning of the
budget and government-imposed limitations over private
sector participation, foreign trade, flow of foreign
currency, and foreign direct investment. However, in
1983 Prime Minister Turgut Özal initiated a series of
reforms designed to shift the economy from a
statist, insulated system to a more private-sector, marketbased model
