a. it experienced a series of revolutions that produced a communist government.
b. it went from controlling a powerful empire to forming an independent republic.
c. it rapidly industrialized its economy and became a major world power.

Explanation:

Before WWI, Turkey was the core of the Ottoman Empire. After the empire's defeat in WWI, Turkish nationalists led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk fought a war of independence, establishing the Republic of Turkey in 1923. Option A is incorrect because Turkey did not adopt communism. Option C is wrong as Turkey did not rapidly industrialize to become a major world power right after WWI. Option D is false because the Ottoman Empire lost its territories, not expanded control via the mandate system.

Answer:

B. It went from controlling a powerful empire to forming an independent republic.
