The correct answer is:
by organizing Turkish independence efforts
To answer the question, "How did Kemal Atatürk convince European powers to begin peace negotiations following the Turkish fight for independence?", we need to analyze the options provided.
The options are:
1. by threatening to attack Istanbul where they were based
2. by ousting the Ottoman sultan from power
3. by organizing Turkish independence efforts
4. by cooperating with them as they claimed Ottoman land
Based on historical knowledge, we can eliminate option 1, "by threatening to attack Istanbul where they were based". Atatürk did not resort to such a threat to convince European powers to negotiate peace.
Option 2, "by ousting the Ottoman sultan from power", is a plausible choice. Atatürk's actions in removing the Ottoman sultan and establishing the Republic of Turkey showcased his determination and capability to bring about change. So, it is likely that this played a part in convincing European powers to engage in peace negotiations.
Option 3, "by organizing Turkish independence efforts", is also a valid option. Atatürk's leadership in organizing and directing the fight for Turkish independence proved his dedication and ability to achieve the goal. This likely gained the attention and respect of the European powers, leading them to consider peace negotiations.
Option 4, "by cooperating with them as they claimed Ottoman land", is not historically accurate. Atatürk focused on independence and maintaining Turkish sovereignty, rather than cooperating with external powers to claim Ottoman land.
Considering the explanations above, the most accurate answers to the question are options 2 and 3. Atatürk convinced European powers to begin peace negotiations by both ousting the Ottoman sultan from power and organizing Turkish independence efforts.
