In the first half of the XX century, movements in pursuit of stronger sense of national identity and cohesion in face of a foreign threat began to emerge in many areas of the world. Of such, we can point out the Xinhai revolution, in 1912, led by Sun Yat Sen (China's first republican president), which deposed the millennia old chinese imperial system in favor of a Republic. In Turkey, a young Marshall named Mustafa Kemal would lead the country to fend off occupying foreign powers to see a unified and secular Tukish Republic emerge from the ashes of the Ottoman Empire, after the first World War, earning him the title of Atatürk (Father of the Turks). A few decades later, another movement led by activist Mohandas Gandhi, this time in India, would see the country gain its independence from the powerful British Empire in 1947. What these movements have in common is the defense of the motherland and the struggle for liberation from any peceived foreign oppression.
