This article focuses on political situation of Turkey. Renovation of the dictatorship into a republic began some time before American aid under the President of the United States, Harry S. Truman, Doctrine was announced. Turkish leaders apparently started to think seriously of instituting democracy when it became clear that Adolph Hitler, a dictator of Germany, was going down to defeat. But less cynical reasons for shifting to popular government also existed. War-time controls brought grumbling against the regime in circles which had long been indifferent.
