TURKISH INDEPENDENCE WAR JCC: Kemalists vs. Entente Powers

The Ottomans have lost the Great War and the Entente Powers of Britain, France, Armenia, and Greece have occupied great swathes of Anatolia and seem poised to incorporate these territories into their new world order. All that remains of the Ottoman Empire is a small rump state in Central Anatolia. A group of Turkish nationalists seeks to retake Anatolia, not to rebuild an empire, but rather to create a secular republic. However, imperialist crimes such as the Armenian Genocide and the Anglo-French colonization of the most densely populated areas of the Middle East remain unremedied, leading to questions about how the Entente or the new revolutionary government in Ankara can resolve or worsen regional tensions. The outcome of the war between the Turkish nationalists and Entente Powers will shape regional politics for decades to come and determine how Anatolia, the Balkans, Arabia, and the Caucasus will rebuild following the collapse of Ottoman rule.

Yet in a world shaken by pandemics and digitization, they face a growing crisis of legitimacy. Moving the SAT online and updating it was aimed to make the test more accessible and relevant, but colleges have continued to go test-optional, de-emphasizing the products that the College Board sells. This has only compounded criticisms over the nonprofit’s practice of charging high fees for access, opaque test design and grading structure, and high salaries paid to executives. As a member of the College Board’s governing body, you have been tasked with ensuring the continued relevance of the organization into the 21st century. How can they adapt to a changing world? The future of college admissions is in your hands.
