Mustafa was born in Thessaloniki at the end of the 19th century. The death of his father, Ali Riza Bey, is among the worst memories of his childhood. The future dream that Zübeyde Hanim has for him is the size of a small grain of straw compared to the huge fire inside Mustafa Kemal. Mustafa Kemal graduated from the academy as Staff Captain. He served in all corners of the Ottoman lands from 1905 to 1919. What he sees is that the administration in his country has already gotten out of control, and that merit and patriotism no longer exist. "Freedom and independence are my characteristics." Mustafa Kemal will start a struggle to establish the civilized society he dreams of with his intelligence, talents, military genius and broad culture.
