===[[File:Modern.png]] Modernization===
While the CUP has been promoting [[File:Caliphate.png]] [[Pan-Nationalism#Pan-Islamism|Islamism]], they had always been a [[File:Secular.png]] secular organization. The Unionists cracked down upon [[File:Muslim 2.png]] [[Islamic Theocracy|Islamic Fundamentalists]] after the 1909 Counterrevolution which would strain the Union's relationship with the Ulema, but they would promote [[File:Muslim 2.png]] [[Islamic Theocracy|Islamism]] during the First World War to rile up the Muslim population of the Ottoman Empire. But the CUP still saw themselves as a [[File:Secular.png]] Secular and Modernizing force. An example of their modernization was the passing of the controversial 1917 "Temporal Family Law" which was viewed as a significant advance in [[File:Fem.png]] [[Feminism|women's rights]] and [[File:Secular.png]] Secularism in the Ottoman Empire. Women were given more power in the household, became able to divorce their husbands and polygamy was restricted.
