Step-by-step explanation:

The Turks responded to the Allied takeover of the Ottoman Empire after World War I by organizing a resistance movement and ultimately gaining independence from the Allies. The initial partitioning of the empire through the 1920 Treaty of Sèvres, which left the Ottomans with minimal territory, sparked a nationalist response. Under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, later known as the father of the Turks, a military campaign was launched to fight for Turkish independence which led to the renunciation of the initial treaty and eventually to the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923. This treaty established a new, independent Turkish nation, succeeding the Ottoman government.
