  • Summary

  • In this episode of EDUCIDE, Mike Cunningham explores the concept of 'educide'—the rewriting or genocide of history or education itself—with a deep dive into post-World War I Turkey. The episode revolves around the Treaty of Sèvres and its replacement by the Treaty of Lausanne, focusing how the turbulent historical, legal, and political conditions drove this transformative event. A significant person dissected in this journey is Mustafa Kemal Atatürk—his vehement opposition to the Treaty of Sèvres, establishment of a counter movement, and eventual victory in remapping the narrative and identity of a nation. Mike also studies how the signing and ratification of international treaties influence the fate of such agreements, covering the roles of domestic and international influences, with particular focus on Soviet Russia's support to Atatürk's nationalist movement. The episode highlights the remarkable capacity of leaders, external alliances, and strategic narrative control in crafting a nation's future.
