Taking A Walk in Izmir

I dont think so we would be much worse like Afghanistan

We don't have tribalism and already had a central power. We would never have been like that, many Pashas realized that the industralized west was superior.
Problem in Afghanistan is Pashtun Taliban vs others, they never had a central power who had everyone under control.

During the Ottoman times; women were not allowed to be in the same public space with men and play in theatres. Polygamy was legal. Young Turks pushed for more freedom and brought idealist reforms to the country in the revolution of 1909; but their defeat in the WW1 saw the reinstallation of a backward monarch regime. The country needed an iron-handed, strong-willed leader with a charisma like Ataturk who could make radical changes.
