In response\, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk launched the Turkish national resistance movement\, determined to reclaim sovereignty and resist occupation. \nAtatürk led nationalist forces through a series of military campaigns against Greek\, Armenian\, French\, and British occupiers. \nThe western front\, particularly against Greek forces\, became the primary focus of military resistance. After years of fighting\, the stage was set for a decisive confrontation: the Battle of Dumlupınar. \nFought near Kütahya in western Anatolia\, the battle began on August 26 and ended with a decisive Turkish victory on August 30. Commanded directly by Atatürk\, the Turkish army encircled and overwhelmed the Greek forces\, forcing a full retreat. \nGreek forces were pushed out of Anatolia\, and Turkish forces entered İzmir on September 9\, 1922\, ending the war. The victory at Dumlupınar directly led to the Treaty of Lausanne (1923)\, which recognized Turkey's full independence and marked the official birth of the Republic of Turkey. \nIn 1926\, Victory Day was officially declared a national holiday.
