"Turkey (...) predicted the intentions of other actors of the war, developed cooperation with them, changed their calculations and influenced their decisions with the decisions it took regarding its own armed forces. On the other hand, the power it created with the military measures it took in order to become an active actor that was taken into account also greatly affected its economy." (...) Turkey managed to become one of the effective actors of the Second World War without entering into a hot conflict, was protected from destruction, but experienced all the difficulties of a war economy and the social problems that these difficulties brought."
