What was Abdulmejid II's role in the Republic of Turkey?

  • Only Caliph

  • First President

  • Prime Minister

  • General

Answer

Abdulmejid II was the last Caliph of the Ottoman Empire, holding the position from 1922 to 1924. After the collapse of the empire, the Republic of Turkey was established in 1923, abolishing the caliphate. Consequently, Abdulmejid II's role in the new republic was limited to that of a former religious leader, with no political or administrative authority.
