Abstract

The scope of this essay is to find the role of the Wealth Tax in the Turkish National Bourgeoisie formation process. The newspapers Tan and Cumhuriyet of that period (between 1942-44) and the official records of Turkish Grand National Assembly were examined since they were the primary sources but all of them couldn’t be shown in this essay because of the word limit but in the appendices, all of them could be found. After the First World War, the racism started to find a place for itself in the world. Especially in Italy and Germany this ideology found lots of supporters. This new ideology also affected the newly formed Turkey and caused Pan-Turanism to come out. Pan-Turanism’s target is to form a society which covers all the Turks in the World so the Turkification policy is a result of this ideology. The “Turkification” policy started just after the Lausanne (24 July 1923). This policy based on the idea of forming a society consists of just Turks. The Turkish – Greek population exchange decision was the first step of this policy. After the Lausanne, the Turkish government made an agreement with Greek government and agreed on exchanging Greeks in Turkey with Turks in Greece. The next step was to make Turks have the control of the Turkish economy. The Wealth Tax was used to achieve this goal. Actually, if the tax law is examined properly, it can be seen that there isn’t any word that shows only the minorities will pay this tax. However, the application and results of this tax prove that only minorities paid this tax so it can be claimed that this tax totally related with the formation of the Turkish National Bourgeoisie by taking the capitals of the minorities.
