Best Answer

The answer you are likely looking for is "the Ottoman Empire", but this is incorrect. Turkey was the dominant constituent entity of the Ottoman Empire and the only remaining part after the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations cut away all other parts of the empire.

Turkey replaced the Ottoman Empire after Mustafa Kemal Ataturk led a rebellion using the Ottoman army to overthrow the sultan and install himself as the first President of Turkey. He then rallied the remaining Ottoman army to his banner and ejected Greek, Bulgarian,Armenian, and Kurdish troops within the new Turkish borders. This war, which culminated with a signed treaty (Treaty of Lausanne) to have these enemies recognize the nascent Turkish Republic built on the ruins of the Ottoman Empire, was popularly called the War of Turkish Independence. Ataturk removed many of the agencies and departments of the Ottoman Empire and the country underwent a restructuring, but the Ottoman Empire did not "grant" independence to Turkey; it became Turkey.
