Atatürk’ün silah arkadaşlarından olan Fahrettin Altay Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun son yıllarından Cumhuriyet dönemine uzanan başarılı askeri ve siyasi hayatıyla, yakın Türk tarihine yön veren isimlerdendir. Balkan Savaşları ve Birinci Dünya Savaşında ön saflarda bulunan Fahrettin Altay bu konumunu Millî Mücadele döneminde de devam ettirmiş hatta İzmir’e ilk giren süvari birliklerinin komutanı olarak Kurtuluş Savaşı’na büyük katkıda bulunmuştur. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin kurulması sürecinde Atatürk’ün yanında bulunan ve mecliste aktif rol oynayan Altay bu dönemleri kendi kalemiyle anlatmış olup ordudan emekli olduktan sonra da siyasi hayatını devam ettirmiştir. Bu araştırmada, Fahrettin Altay’ın kendi kitaplarından, torunlarıyla yapılan röportajlardan ve kendisi hakkında yazılmış makalelerden yararlanılmıştır. Bu belgeler ışığında Fahrettin Altay’ın Türk siyasi ve askeri tarihindeki yeri anlatılmıştır.During the Turkish War of Independence and the following establishment of the Turkish nation, it is impossible to disregard the contributions of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and his friends in combat. Fahrettin Altay, one of Ataturk’s battle companions, came into the spotlight with his successful military and political careers ranging from the end of the Ottoman Empire to the establishment of the Turkish Republic, and also through his actions influenced contemporary Turkish history. Standing in front of the battlements in both the Balkan Wars and World War 1, Altay continued his participation in the Turkish War of Independence and lead the first cavalry units to Izmir as their commander, contributing a great deal to the war efforts. Altay, who also had an active political career in the Turkish parliament alongside Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, decided to create memoirs depicting these tumultuous times, and continued his political career even after his military career had ended. In this paper, sources ranging from Fahrettin Altay’s books, interviews done with his grandchildren and other written sources about him have been used. Through these sources, an investigation has conducted on the contributions of Fahrettin Altay on both Turkish military and political history.25 pagesTurkishCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlikehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/Fahrettin AltayKurtuluş SavaşıSüvari, MilletvekiliTurkish War of IndependenceCavalryMember of ParliamentÖZTÜRK HIST 200-7/1 2018-19Student ProjectSPB2929
