This article aims to shed light on the modern history of the Kurds in Iran, with
particular reference made to the main Kurdish political and social movements
of the 20th century following World War I and the establishment of an Iranian
nation-state. The modernization and centralization of the new state deprived the
non-Persian ethnic groups, including the Kurds, of democratically expressing
their national aspirations. The consequences of this policy and the struggle of the
Kurds against it throughout the remainder of the century and up to the present are
the main issues discussed in this article.
