What year was the Ottoman caliphate abolished?

  • 1924

  • 1926

  • 1930

  • 1944

Answer

1924 marked the end of the Ottoman caliphate, a centuries-old institution that had played a central role in the Islamic world. The abolition was part of a broader effort by the newly established Turkish Republic to modernize and secularize the country. The caliphate's authority had been gradually eroding for years, and its abolition was the final step in the process of separating religion from the state.
