Mete Han
Mete Khan was not only an empire builder but also a visionary leader who is considered the father of Turkish state philosophy and military doctrine. His life and understanding of governance influenced state structures from Asia to Europe for thousands of years. Here are the deep traces of Mete Han in history: 1. State and Army Organization Mete Han's greatest legacy is the Decimal System, which forms the basis of even modern armies today. By dividing the army into units of 10, 100, 1000 and 10,000 men (divisions), he ensured that huge units were quickly managed from a single center. Thanks to this discipline, the Huns achieved great success against armies far superior to them. 2. Love of Homeland and Awareness of the Land The first concrete example of the understanding that the "homeland is sacred" in the Turkish state tradition dates back to Mete Han.
