%X In the macro-peripheral analysis of strategic culture, history has gained a primary position. Since forms of use of force constitute a primary problematic in terms of historical analysis of strategic culture, ¡°aggression¡± and ¡°defensiveness¡± gain a relative priority and privilege in the historical analysis of strategic culture. The aggression, which constitutes the relatively dynamic side of the dichotomy, is expressed in the Western literature as ¡°cult of offensive¡±. The controversy of strategic offensive and defensive tendencies in the strategic culture is not an area to which the Turkish strategic culture is unfamiliar. Various authors have also identified a similar dichotomy in the Turkish strategic culture by defining attack/defense or daring/temptation. On the other hand, the pragmatic tendency found in Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atat¨¹rk¡¯s rhetoric as ¡°the spirit of attack¡± constitutes also this research¡¯s problematic. In this research, the aggression in the Turkish Strategic culture will be analyzed through Atat¨¹rk's own writings, speeches, and statements
