I have been wondering for sometimes now whether the Ottoman monarchy can plausibly be staying legally as head of state after the defeat in WW1. From my understanding so far, it was only because of the last Sultan fought in the opposite side of that of Attaturk(which fought to drive out the occupiers) that the monarchy was possible to be abolished. Now, what if, say, it wasn't the case ? What will become of this country we know today as Turkey if it didn't become a Republic, but instead stay a monarchy ?
