The idiom "Young Turk" originated from a political reform movement within the late Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century. The movement, known as the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), was composed of a group of young, nationalist, and reform-minded individuals who sought to modernize the empire and address its perceived decline. They came to be known as the "Young Turks" due to their relatively young age and revolutionary ideas. The movement played a significant role in the Young Turk Revolution of 1908, which led to the establishment of a constitutional government in the Ottoman Empire.  It is often used in political discussions to refer to young reformers challenging traditional systems and advocating for social or political transformation.
