İLÂ-YI VATAN: AN ASSSOCIATION WHICH OPPONENT OF THE KUVA-YI MİLLİYE AND FRIENDLY TO THE BRITISH IN THE ARMISTICE PERIOD

Summary/Abstract: İlâ-yi Vatan association is a political party founded on 19 November 1919 in unsettled political situation after the Armistice of Mondros. İlâ-yi Vatan Association is a party that has acted jointly with the İngiliz Muhibleri Association and Hürriyet ve İtilaf Party which advocates the same views in political terms, and political formations, but also has seen them as rivals in the path of power. Although the association tried to cooperate with Hürriyet and İtilaf and to dissolve small parties within itself in order to increase his power, it did not succeed in this. The Party did not have its own style of action and did not leave the line of Hürriyet and İtilaf. However, the most important feature that distinguishes the İlâ-yi Vatan Association from other pro-reign associations is that its attempt to gather all the pro-British and pro-reign parties together and try to cooperate. For this purpose, which also founded the secret underground organization Tarikat-ı Salâhiye, became a dangerous political movement against the national struggle.
