Mustafa Kemal was the first president and Turkey and he had his ideas on how to be more modernized like England, USA who wore anything they wanted and were modern not like. This is how Mustafa wanted to be, him as president let him make his own laws and people of Turkey would have to obey or that is just breaking the laws he created. The people of Turkey weren't allow to wear fez which is a type of hat but without the borders to cover the sunlight so instead of fez they wore regular hats but the hats must have a border around it. Also men could only wear regular clothes like how the Western people did. The women wouldn't be able to wear a veil or the ottoman clothing. Mustafa didn't want no one in his country to wear any of it or anything that had to do with the Muslim clothing tradition. He didn't want go along with the rules that the other Muslim country had. This made Turkey become more modernized and secular. Where secular means to not have anything to do with anything about the religion they have. The people of Turkey named him Ataturk which means "Father of the Turks", they had given him this name for his gratefulness.
