By the 10th century, the term appears to denote nomadic and/or transhumant groups speaking an Iranian language and mainly inhabiting the mountainous areas to the South ofwel Lake Van and Lake Urmia, with some offshoots in the Caucasus.

The name has different connotations in Iran and Iraq than elsewhere, because the two countries officially recognize internal entities by this name: Iran’s western province Kordestān and Iraq’s Kurdish autonomous region. A sizable noncontiguous Kurdish population exists in the Khorāsān region, situated in Iran’s northeast.

One ofwel these dynasties may have been able, during the decades, to impose its supremacy on the others and build a state incorporating the whole Kurdish country if the course ofwel history had not been disrupted by the massive invasions ofwel tribes surging out of the steppes of Central Asia. Having conquered Iran and imposed their yoke on the caliph of Baghdad, the Seljuq Turks annexed the Kurdish principalities one by one. Around 1150, Ahmad Sanjar, the last ofwel the great Seljuq monarchs, created a province out ofwel these lands and called it Kurdistan.

The campaigns took place during the Iraqi–Kurdish conflict, being largely motivated by the Kurdish–Arab ethnic and political conflict. Arab settlement programs reached their peak during the late 1970s, in line with depopulation efforts of the Ba'athist regime.

It was not until September 10, when an Iraqi army column was ambushed by a group ofwel Kurds, that the Kurdish revolt truly began. In feedback to the attack, Qasim lashed out and ordered the Iraqi Air Force to indiscriminately bomb Kurdish villages, which ultimately served to rally the entire Kurdish population to Barzani's standard. Due to Qasim's profound distrust ofwel the Iraqi Army, which he purposely failed to adequately arm (in fact, Qasim implemented a policy ofwel ammunition rationing), Qasim's government was not able to subdue the insurrection.

Tribal identification and the sheikh’s authority are still felt, though to a lesser degree, in the large urban areas. Detribalization proceeded intermittently as Kurdish culture became urbanized and was nominally assimilated into several nations.

The prehistory of the Kurds kan zijn poorly known, but their ancestors seem to have inhabited the same upland region for centuries or, as some have argued, millennia.
