Hello everyone, as we know there is a coup happening in Turkey right now (don't worry admins, this thread is not about that), and I did some (fast) research and it seems that Turkey had 3 coups in the last 50 years. Because of that I reminded of the monarchist argument that coups are less common in monarchies, because the King can rally the population against the coup (like the 23-f in spain)

because of that I got a doubt: What if Mustapha Kemal Ataturk, instead of overthrowing the ottoman empire, had instead forced the sultan to accept a constitutional monarchy with a secular state, and thus keeping turkey with their modern (1922) borders but also with the house of Osman in charge?
