Kuva-yi Milliye and the Republic Monument, National Forces monument in Manisa, Turkey

The monument reaches a height of 63 meters and features a depiction of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk constructed from concrete and bronze materials.

The Kuva-yi Milliye irregular militia forces emerged after the Ottoman Empire occupation, fighting during the Turkish War of Independence from 1919 to 1920.

The monument commemorates the National Forces that protected Turkish and Muslim rights in Anatolia against foreign occupations during the early 1920s.

The structure, inaugurated in 2004, stands as a testament to both military resistance and the transformation of irregular militias into formal military units.
