Rojava Revolution

We Kurds are an ancient people on the land of Kurdistan since ancient times. We have preserved our language and identity despite the invasions of the Ottoman and Persian empires. After World War I, the great empires collapsed, and Britain and France moved to divide our land through the Sykes–Picot Agreement, and the Treaty of Sèvres in 1920, which promised a Kurdish state, then the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923 which canceled that promise and divided Kurdistan between Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria,
