The success of each country is not least determined by the presence of a strong leader with charisma. The past century has given the world a lot of political figures who have left a noticeable mark in the history of their countries. These important persons can be safely attributed to Mustafa Ataturk, Konrad Adenauer and Margaret Thatcher.
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk
Ataturk in his native Turkey and around the world is rightfully considered one of the most talented reformers of the 20th century. He was president of Turkey from 1923 to 1938. Under Ataturk, the country turned into a secular state, switched to the Latin alphabet. The emancipation of women was carried out, measures were taken to strengthen the promotion of Western culture. But all these transformations lay only on the surface of the broad reforming activity of the politician.
Starting the reforms, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk conducted a deep and comprehensive analysis of the situation in Turkey, and also carefully studied the features of the state model adopted in the West. The result was the transformation of the former Ottoman Empire, which was largely distinguished by backwardness and medievalism, into a modern state built on the most effective examples of its time.
Conrad Adenauer
After the inglorious end of World War II for Germany, the country found itself in a deplorable state. Many cities lay in ruins. The valuable equipment preserved at the surviving enterprises was taken out by the winners for reparations. The German people experienced inner emptiness, confusion and disappointment. It was during this difficult time that Konrad Adenauer became the chancellor of the newly created state, called the Federal Republic of Germany.
By the time he took office, politics was already over seventy years old. He lived a eventful and eventful life, witnessing large-scale transformations in the country and the world. Under the leadership of this visionary politician, Germany has become a strong European state. The politician in his work actively used his unquestioned authority, although he relied on very strict methods of governing the country. Adenauer resigned in 1963 of his own free will. The period of his reign in the West was called the "German economic miracle."
