well, consider you have a landmass ruled by an islamist monarchy who is also the caliph, with basically zero industrialization, filled with people good in heart but poor and non educated, who do nothing but live doing primitive farming stuff and getting drafted to wars across balkans and africa and loosing non stop. so they did what they can, fought a huge war while trying to put together a new govermental system, copying and inviting people from west to get the ball going all the while to try put together a functioning goverment. kinda big achievement his lot did, since they didnt have to do it at all, they could easily look out for themselves and move to other countries to live easy lives. too much stuff to individually comment on, generally speaking they pulled some impossible stuff out of nothing, its not like they set all this up to be rich and rule over the stuff as de facto monarcy too, pretty based in that sense aswell. unless ofcourse you directly dislike the results then its terrible. but like i said, turkish people are taught to praise him as jesus along with nationalist identity so that carries on. something beyond respecting and appreciating you know what i mean? a bit of a washing involved in there, but id say it was thought necessary because if people were uncaring people like erdogan would have gone much farther than they are able right now.
