Communist parties and arab nationalists also emerged and got the support of those alienated by elite nationalists - peasantry, small business owners, tradespeople, marginalized ethnic groups etc. There maintains a primary debate about where to look for guidance in going forward building these nationsbe inspired by western countries and modernizing in that way or looking towards islamic leaders and the qaran for guidance Parallels between post wwi turkish history and iranian history. Pattern of things being imposed top down by government; even if they are in the name of modernization and democratization, they are still top down reforms. Whoever is backed by the european country is the one that is victorious in these power struggles. First treaty after wwi (treaty of sevres) just greatly desizes the ottoman.
