I thought a TL based around this idea would be interesting so I wanted to know - how plausible is there to be a Turkish Civil War following the establishment of the Republic of Turkey? How would this Turkish Civil War play out? How long could it last?

Let's say the Turkish War of Independence goes as OTL where the Turkish National Movement wins with Mustafa Kemal becoming President of the Republic of Turkey. I can see monarchists in favor of a restoration of the House of Osman and the Sultan, perhaps a monarchist resistance movement organized by Mehmed VI rises. There could be a communist movement headed by Ethem Nejat.
