The option "He organized an uprising against the sultan so that he could take control of the army" is not the most accurate representation of how Kemal Atatürk gained control of the Turkish forces during the War of Independence. While Atatürk did oppose the sultan and the Ottoman government due to their concessions and cooperation with foreign powers, his rise to command was more about rallying support against foreign occupation and popular nationalist sentiment than a direct military uprising against the sultan himself.
Atatürk was initially a part of the Ottoman military and gained significant support from various factions of the military and the populace due to his leadership and vision for a free Turkish state. His ability to inspire and unite the forces fighting for Turkish independence was crucial to his gaining control, making the option about forces joining him due to his efforts more representative of the historical context.
In summary, while there is a level of opposition to the sultan's authority, it was not characterized by a direct uprising as much as it was a movement of national unity against foreign influence and occupation.
