dc.description.abstractThe 1940s were the hardest years for Turkish political life. After Atatürk, the "first man", passed away; İsmet İnönü, the "Second Man", who was the new leader of the Republic of Turkey, made an effort to place the governance principles of the late "charismatic" leader on bureaucratic and rational grounds. Although the Republican People's Party (CHP) placed itself on the "centre left" so as to have an ideological ground, it gave importance to nationalist ideology. However, the nationalist elites who aimed to politicise a nationalism which was not dependant upon the state and to bring it together with the masses were creating a new nationalistic coding system to criticise the rituals of the "State Nationalism" in order to get together, but not under CHP. Those who study the Nationalist incidents of 1944 and the rise of political nationalism share a misjudgement about nationalism. They state that Turkish nationalism arose in 1939 and afterwards, and that it was highly inspired by the German National Socialism. However, the first anxieties were observed in the military just after the outbreak of World War II. The poor economic structure of Turkey worried nationalist elites and mid-level military officers. Both of these groups had serious worries about the mission of CHP. Adding the socialist ideas originating from the USSR and their extension to Anatolian geography to the above-mentioned realities, the nationalist reaction arose. © Common Ground, Ahmed Baran Dural, Burak Gümüş, All Rights Reserved.en_US
