Assyrian struggle for independence
The Assyrian struggle for Independence is an ongoing struggle for independence for the Assyrian Nation in its historical homeland. Originally, it was waged by the Assyrian Patriarch and the chiefs (Assyrian: malik) of the Assyrians between 1843 and 1933, with later assistance from the British Empire, against the Ottoman Empire, the Soviet Union, the Persian Empire, the Kingdom of Iraq, the French Mandate of Syria, and the British Mandate of Mesopotamia.
As Austen Henry Layard, the British Empire's ambassador to the Ottoman Empire in the nineteenth century, wrote, the Assyrians survived the Arab, Mongol, and Kurdish conquests in the mountains of Hakkari and northern Mesopotamia, where they fought to maintain their independence in the nineteenth century.〔(Sir Austen H. Layard, Nineveh and Its Remains, Volume 1 (1845), p. 245 )〕 As Professor Abraham Yohannan of Columbia University wrote in 1916, the Assyrians "are a sturdy people who, like the Kurds about them, have maintained a state of semi-independence and have been more or less able to defend themselves against attacks."〔(Abraham Yohannan, The Death of a Nation, or, The Ever Persecuted Nestorians or Assyrian Christians, p. 146 (1916) )〕 The traditional Assyrian homeland includes northern Iraq, northeast Syria, southeast Turkey and northeastern Persia.〔(Celestia Bloss, Ancient History, Illustrated by Colored Maps, p. 242 (1883) )〕 The Assyrian-inhabited area of Iraq is located primarily but not exclusively in the Ninawa-Mosul region in northern Iraq where the biblical Assyrian capitals of Nineveh and Ashur were located.〔Minorities in the Middle East: a history of struggle and self-expression By Mordechai Nisan〕 This area is known as the "Assyrian Triangle."〔The Origins of War: From the Stone Age to Alexander the Great By Arther Ferrill - Page 70〕
