Abstract
History writing has been highly politicized and closely monitored in Turkey, not only during the authoritarian founding period of the Republic (1923–1950) under the one-party dictatorship of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), but also in the sixty years since Turkey’s transition to multiparty democracy (1950–2010). On the other hand, Turkey has not been a totalitarian state, even during the period of one-party rule, and definitely not since the 1950s, and this allowed for continuous traditions of revisionist historiographies, which flourished in particular since the end of the last period of military government in 1983.
