Kurdish Rebellion
The Kurdish Rebellion refers to a series of uprisings by the Kurdish people, primarily in regions of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. These movements aim to achieve greater autonomy, cultural rights, and political recognition for the Kurdish population, which is one of the largest ethnic groups without a state. The rebellions have often been met with military responses from the respective governments.
The most notable Kurdish group involved in these uprisings is the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has been engaged in armed conflict with the Turkish government since the late 1970s. In Iraq, the Kurdish region has gained significant autonomy, especially after the fall of Saddam Hussein, while in Syria, Kurdish forces have played a crucial role in the fight against ISIS.
