What if he lived until the 1970s and retired no earlier than the late 1960s. I expect turkey to be more liberal since he was so secular.
Do you think Turkey would still have the highest GINI coefficient in europe in this ATL?It would could let to more stable democracy in Turkey, preventing the military dictatorship of 1970s to 1980s.
or to Military intervention in 1960 to remove him from power, because he became authoritarian ruler refusing to step down.
Do you think Turkey would still have the highest GINI coefficient in europe in this ATL?You would need Atatürk being lesser drunker in order him living longer.
But if Atatürk never become alcoholist and lives to early 1960's Turkey might be more stable and perhaps bit more liberal. Islamism might be almost non-existence. I don't know then how things would go during early Cold War.
He is born in 1881. He likely led dictatorship in Turkey. Newly born nation is difficult place for democracy and liberalism. Sukarno, Ngkrumah, Tito become dictators. If he lived to 60s, he likely horrified by changes and become conservative in his eighties.

Idk if it'd be more secular. Ataturk and his successors did everything they could but the recent wave of Islamization is a genuine reaction of the average non-urban Turk's religiosity that would still exist as a potent political forceMore secular, maybe. But more liberal is more questionable as he was pretty dictatorial during his life, although he used that power to try to modernized and westernized the country.
