Lonely Planet review

The Museum of The War of Independence is where the republican grand national assembly held its early sessions. Before it was Turkey's first parliament, the building was the Ankara headquarters of the Committee of Union & Progress, the party of 'Young Turks' that overthrew Sultan Abdül Hamit II in 1909 and attempted to bring democracy to the Ottoman Empire. Today you'll see photographs, documents and a throng of soldiers, here to learn about the campaigns.
