Outline

General Mustafa Kemal openly declares that he will not obey the order to refrain from resisting the British forces. He has come to terms with the reality that the Ottoman Empire is indeed the “Sick Man” of Europe, as they say. He returns to Istanbul. To the public, he appears as a loyal and withdrawn general, quietly loyal to Sultan Vahidettin.
