Last time we got a little too caught up in the rebellions, so this time we went straight into the Six Arrows, what they represent, what their utility was to the Kemalists and why those arrows in particular? We especially focus on the intersection between the various six arrows, how they relate to other revolutionary/modernising projects and take a look at the global impact of Kemalist ideology, especially from some unsavoury perspectives that you might not expect.
Also we talk about Turkey's second short-lived experiment with Liberal Democracy and take a look at the first multi-party local elections that took place, which also were the first to allow women to vote and be elected in the country's history, so a lot of interesting milestones in this one!

A preview of our bonus episode exploring two of the pseudoscientific (and to be honest, race science based) theories that came out of the early Turkish Republic trying to justify its place in history and in Anatolia. So come along for some Sun Language Theory and Turkish Historical Thesis action!

In what was meant to be a comprehensive episode covering the major political developments of the 1928-1938 period, we instead ended up getting bogged down in the detail of the Xoybun. A Kurdish pan-nationalist party that was involved in the little known breakaway Ararat Republic which was one of the more successful Kurdish attempts at independence lasting officially for four years. Even though it was never internationally recognised and didn't succeed in its ultimate aim, we find that the successes they did have were remarkable.
We also go on to talk about the Dersim Rebellion (or Dersim Genocide as it's sometimes known and we'll see why), the events leading up to it and how the program for Turkification in the south east of Turkey was often done by shows of force and was met with resistance by the local population.

It's time for us to return to the Reform Factory for the second half of the key Kemalist reforms during the early Republic in Turkey. We learn about some of the issues that faced the early nationalist project of the Kemalists, which included abysmally low literacy rates (though there is some dispute around that), a lack of confidence in the national identity which led to weird things like trying to replace literally every loanword in the language and how they confronted some of these problems by collaborating with the acceptable face of the far-right in early Republican Turkey. We also engage in a lot of chaos since our guest apparently brought the habits of his own podcast to us, such a good guest, bringing us a gift! We run right up to 1938, which is an important date for reasons we'll get into in a few episodes.

We're almost out of the 20s, I promise! Come and join us as we go through the Turkish economic response to the Great Depression and see why, despite the big man Ataturk's political and economic instincts the Turkish response seemed to go so strongly against his own stated political preferences. Including a look at the two developing factions in the CHP, the Statists and the Liberals (boo hiss) and their two primary figures Ismet Inonu and Celal Bayar (boo hiss). We also experience Sinan's brain melting as his poorly ventilated bedroom causes him to lose his mind partway through the recording.

A little preview of our bonus episode on some crimes which we absolutely do not endorse, the Turkish bridge theft epidemic (okay, there were two, but come on it's fun!). Enjoy a look at similar crimes around the world as we try to figure out exactly what may have happened in the case where the criminals actually got away with it.
