It also recommended that in the rest of Turkey only Turkish could be spoken and that Kurds should be barred from higher level offices.

Submachine guns were used in crime for the first time during a mob assassination attempt in Chicago.  The weapon used was a  Thompson Submachine Gun, a type that would become synonymous with gangsters.
