 Mustafa Kemal Atatürk?
Yes, born in what is now Greece, but obviously a key figure in Turkey’s history.

More to the point, congrats on your first win! Be sure to update the spreadsheet with your victory… not sure anything else is that complicated.

Yes

That’s 19 (at least according to the summary above), so it’s time for free guesses. I actually think this is gettable so I’ll wait for them to come in, if people can’t figure it out during the free guesses and Q20 doesn’t get close I’ll probably extend additional questions at that time.

Remember, this still could be someone who was alive in 1800 and died after 1856.
