In addition, it is to show how and how the national identity building of the Turkish society after the First World War and the Liberation War through nation and gender reflects in the stories. ‘Women and Gender’, ‘Soldat and Nation’, ‘Fatherland, Land and Woman’, ‘Inflammation, Burning and Destruction’, ‘Namus and Violence’, ‘Self-Identification in the Context of Us and Them’ and ‘Culture and Identity’ are the subtitles of the study. As a result of this study, evaluations were made to reflect the literary environment and cultural consciousness that influenced the construction of national identity. Some of the stories in the National War Stories were kept out of work because they did not illustrate the subject.
