Ataturk's Grand National Assembly was fighting their own government, Britain, France and Greece. How did Ataturk's forces win against those kind of odds? Was it due to Ataturk himself or did other factors play in his favour?
A monkey bit the King of Greece, actually, and he died of sepsis from the bite, which brought his Pro-Central Powers father back to the throne, which rather killed any enthusiasm for continuing to support Greece.I think a monkey biting the Greek pm was involved somehow, though I haven’t polished up my Turkish history in a while.
also, there was the fact that Turkey was fighting with short supply lines, while the allies needed to truck everything into the Anatolian interior
Yes that damned monkey escaped. I still haven't been able to catch it. Who knows what mayhem she has caused over the century.I think a monkey biting the Greek pm was involved somehow, though I haven’t polished up my Turkish history in a while.

As others said, the only one who was seriously fighting Ataturk was the Greeks. Admittedly, the Greeks got actually close to winning before being beaten back.Ataturk's Grand National Assembly was fighting their own government, Britain, France and Greece.
