Abstract

History of humankind has always been associated with wars. Different nations have alwaysfought with one another. However, the most destructive kind of the wars is civil wars. One of the nations who has gone through civil wars the most is Kurds. In the political sense, Kurds appeared inthe history in the 10th century and founded small dynasties such as Seddadi, Mervani, Hasnevi,Revadi and Annazi. Yet, almost all of the Kurdish dynasties have been weakened and destructedbecause of the conflicts amongst the dynasties and tribes. When Seljuks and Kurds first encounteredin 11th century, majority of the Kurdish dynasties were not politically independent but ratherdependent on the Buveyhogullari. When Seljuks defeated the Buveyhogullari Kurdish emiratesentered into the rule of Seljuks.Since 1501 on, Safevis invaded all of the Kurdish geography (including Anatolia and Iraq) anddemolished the Kurdish emirates. İdris‐i Bitlisî sought help from Yavuz Sultan Selim against theSafevis. From 1514 on, the Kurdish emirates in Anatolia and Iraq entered under the reign ofOttomans and special cabinets were founded for Kurds. Up until the 19th century when theOttomans demolished the Kurdish emirates and found a centralized government, Kurds weredependent on the Ottoman Empire in an autonomous way. However, Kurdish tribes were always ina fight with each other. In the 19th century Kurdish emirates rebelled against the Ottoman Empirein order to regain the political power they lost such as Kor Muhammed Pasha Rebellion, BedirhanBey Rebellion, İzzeddin Sir Rebellion, and Sheikh Ubeydullah Rebellion. These rebellions caused aKurdish civil war by attacking their rival Kurdish tribes and emirates and were suppressed after therival Kurdish emirates supported the Ottoman Empire.Kurds are a nation which has been through numerous civil wars and there is still a civil wargoing on amongst the Kurds. However, Kurdologs and Kurdish nationalists choose to ignore thisfact and hold the Turks (Seljuks, Ottomons) for their demolishment while Kurdish history consistsmerely of Kurdish emirates and tribes constantly fighting each other.
