This is a summary of Kurdish jihadism in the Ottoman Empire.
Kurdish jihadism has roots in the Ottoman Empire, where various Kurdish emirates and tribes engaged in alliances with the Ottomans against common enemies, particularly the Safavids and Assyrian Christians.[1] The Ottoman government often utilized Kurdish forces to maintain control over eastern Anatolia, granting them autonomy in exchange for loyalty. This relationship allowed for the rise of Islamic sentiments among Kurdish groups, which were often interwoven with local tribal identities.[2]
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as the Ottoman Empire faced increasing internal strife and external pressures, Kurdish groups began to embrace jihadist ideologies. This shift was influenced by the broader Islamic revivalist movements of the time, leading some Kurdish leaders to call for armed struggle against perceived threats to Islam. Notable figures emerged during this period, advocating for a jihad against both local enemies and the central Ottoman authority.[3]
The emergence of Kurdish jihadism in the Ottoman Empire set the stage for later developments in the region, as these ideologies persisted through the dissolution of the empire and into the modern era. The legacy of these early jihadist movements can still be seen in contemporary Kurdish political dynamics.
