Answer 1

D) He separated religion and politics in the Turkish government

Step-by-step explanation:

Mustafa Kemal, Ataturk, was the first president of the Republic of Turkey from 1923. "He inherited a Turkey in desperate need to modernize in order to survive in the fast paced 20th century." The failing Ottoman Empire was known as "the sick man of Europe," and Ataturk recognized Turkey's necessity to change this image.
