@Srbtopija Instead of questioning whether the victory could have been won without that aid, look at the victory the Turkish nation achieved on the battlefield with its own blood. And yes, we would have won the war even without that aid.
@Srbtopija Soviet aid was purely a matter of shared geopolitical interests. While Atatürk was accepting that aid, she was simultaneously purging the communists within the country; in other words, no ideological concessions were made.
@Srbtopija The Soviets didn't help the Turks for no reason; They helped us so that we would adopt communist ideology. But the great Atatürk both accepted their help and didn't give them what they wanted. Also, Ataturk has a lot of anti-communist words.
