racism. Darwinism, which assumes that living things are engaged in a fight for sur-
vival, was applied to societies and emerged as the movement known as "Social
Darwinism."
Social Darwinism espoused the idea that human races appeared at various stages
of evolution, that European races were the “most advanced” and that other races still
bore ape-like characteristics.
Darwin even included the Great Turkish Nation among those he regarded as “in-
rd
ferior”! In a letter he wrote to W. Graham on July 3 , 1881, the founder of the theory
of evolution expressed this racist idea as follows:
“I could show fight on natural selection having done and doing more for the
progress of civilization than you seem inclined to admit. Remember what risk the
nations of Europe ran, not so many centuries ago, of being overwhelmed by the
Turk, and how ridiculous such an idea now is! The more civilized so-called
Caucasian races have BEATEN THE TURKISH HOLLOW in the struggle for ex-
istence. Looking to the world at no very distant date, what an endless number of
the LOWER RACES will have been eliminated by the higher civilized races
throughout the world.”. 3
As we have seen, Charles Darwin regarded the Turkish Nation as inferior, that na-
tion praised by the Great Leader Ataturk with such words as "The Turkish Nation has
a lofty character, the Turkish nation is hard-working, the Turkish Nation is intelli-
gent…” and "Turkishness is my main source of confidence and my most praisewor-
thy foundation…” Yet there can be absolutely no difference or discrimination be-
tween people in terms of race. A nation can only rise and attain superiority with cul-
ture and moral values. The Great Turkish Nation is a most honorable one with a
deep-rooted culture and superior moral values, characteristics which have shaped
the course of history. The civilizations founded by the Turkish Nation, which com-
prised three of the eight great powers of history, are the products of Turkish lofty cul-
ture, intelligence, moral virtue and belief.
Through expressions such as “inferior race,” Darwin revealed the enmity of the
imperialist European powers of the time toward the Turks. These powers, that were
striving to eliminate the sovereignty and strength of the Turks, found the ideological
basis they sought in Darwinism.
These powers attempted to implement these vile ideas during the Turkish War of
Independence, but failed by means of the Nation’s determination, intelligence,
courage and persistence.
Those who espouse these theories of Darwin’s, a racist and enemy of the Turks,
that are invalid in the face of science, in Turkey today are perhaps unaware that they
are serving the same political ambition.
