The Turkish War of Independence
"Effendis, war and especially a pitched battle is not only the combat of
two armies in confrontation; it is that of the nations. The pitched
battle is a test ground where nations clash with all of their assets,
with their degrees in the field of science and technology, with their
morals, with their cultures, briefly with their total earthly and
spiritual powers and all of their brave mettle and using every sort of
tools. On this area, the true forces and values of the fighting nations
are measured." - Marshall Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
