Kuva-yi Inzibatiye
The Kuvâ-yi İnzibâtiye (Ottoman Turkish: قوای انضباطیه, lit. 'Forces of Order'; Turkish: Hilafet Ordusu, lit. 'Caliphate Army') was an army established on 18 April 1920 by the imperial government of the Ottoman Empire in order to fight against the Turkish National Movement during the Turkish War of Independence in the aftermath of World War I. It was commanded by Süleyman Şefik Pasha. == Establishment of the Kuva-yi Inzibatiye == Mehmed VI, realizing he could no longer count on the title "Sultan" alone to influence the Turkish people, considered it necessary to use the spiritual title of "Caliph" for the leader of the army - thus depicting Nationalists not only as the enemies of the Sultanate but also as the enemies of God.
