DATE OF APPROVAL: 7 February 2008 © Adam B. McConnel 2008 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT THE CHP, THE U.S., AND ULUS: THE PORTRAYAL OF THE UNITED STATES IN ULUS GAZETESİ DURING WWII Adam B. McConnel History Department, M.A. Thesis, 2008 Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Cemil Koçak Key Words: CHP, U.S., media, WWII, culture, information, press, Ulus, Reader's Digest Traditional accounts of Turkish-American relations point to the 1945-1947 period as the point at which political ties between the two countries became "important." However, when one looks at the information about the United States published by Ulus Gazetesi, the semi-official newspaper of the CHP, during that period, one sees a fully-developed pro-U.S. perspective, complete with many articles directly translated from U.S. sources. From this situation, we can infer that the Turkish-American alliance cemented after WWII had deeper roots than just the international situation following the war. In an effort to determine exactly when the pro-U.S. outlook displayed in Ulus during WWII developed, this thesis identifies, traces, and assesses the information about the U.S.

I tried to be assigned to the Embassy in Paris myself, and unable to do so, I decided to run for President. … The United States interest in France is not based on mere sentiment. I know it is customary on these visits to recall Lafayette and all the rest...Our interest here is more substantial, and I believe it goes to the common interests of both the United States and France. We are closely associated and are allies, because it helps to protect the interest of our country and because it protects the interests of freedom around the world. I do not believe that there is any Embassy in the world more important to the United States than the Embassy in Paris, because the influence of this city and country goes far beyond its borders” President John F.
