War. It is a process in which the participants who are lucky survive. A process that defines nations. And a process that can both begin and end tyrants. It is the worst invention our selfish human minds have conceived, and through it, we have come to today's world.
No good can come from war. But it is ironic that evil only responds to violence.
In the words of ANZAC day, lest we forget.
""If war isnt about the defence of a country, it is the biggest murder."
-Ataturk
All too true.
What independence ? I think Turkey is leader of Ottoman Empire
Ottoman Empire was invaded in 1919, and its lands were shared by England, France, Italy, Armenia, Greece and Georgia.
Turkish War of Independence is the war made against these forces and liberating Anatolia, and creating a new country called Turkish Republic out of it. Turkish Republic has no bonds with Ottoman Empire.
