  Mustafa İsmet İnönü was born on 24 September 1884 and rose as a military officer, his friendship with Atatürk forged during the Caucasus campaign. He commanded Turkish forces in the First and Second Battles of İnönü during the 1919–1922 war against Greece, victories that earned him both his surname and his role as chief negotiator at Lausanne, where he secured the Treaty of Lausanne in place of the punishing Treaty of Sèvres.

He returned as prime minister after the 1960 coup, shifted the CHP leftward through the 1960s, and lost the party leadership to Bülent Ecevit in 1972. He died of a heart attack on 25 December 1973, at 89, and is buried opposite Atat
