The 1967 Kurdish revolt in Iran erupted in March 1967, as part of the long-running Kurdish separatist struggle. Abrahamian describes the revolt as a Marxist insurgency with the aim of establishing autonomy for Kurds in Iran, modeled as a federal republic. The revolt, consolidating several tribal uprisings which had begun in 1966, was inspired by the First Iraqi-Kurdish War in neighboring Iraq and enjoyed the support of the recovering Kurdish Democratic Party of Iran,〔Benjamin Smith. ''Land and Rebellion: Kurdish Separatism in Comparative Perspective''.P.10. "The Kurds of Iran: Opportunistic and Failed Resistance, 1918‐". ()〕 previously crushed during the 1946 Iran crisis. The 1967 revolt, coordinated into a semi-organized campaign in the Mahabad-Urumiya region by the revived KDPI party was entirely subdued by the central Iranian government, with assistance of the Iraqi KDP. ==Background== By 1941, when Reza Shah was deposed by the occupying British, his government had had some success in "pacifying" Kurdish tribes. In 1943, an important Kurdish party was established in Iran – Committee of Kurdish Youth (Komala-i-Zhian-i-Kurd), and in 1945 the movement transformed into the Kurdish Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI).〔University of Arkansas. Political Science department. Iran/Kurds (1943-present). Retrieved 09 September 2012. ()〕 Both parties presented a serious challenge to the central Iranian government after WWII. The separatist conflict escalated in 1945, fueled with the Soviet Union support to the Kurds, and eventually leading to the Iran crisis of 1946, which included an attempt of KDPI to establish the independent Republic of Mahabad in Iranian Kurdistan.〔〔''The Kurdish Warrior Tradition and the Importance of the Peshmerga''. p.27-28. ()〕 The attempt failed with military victory of the Iranian forces and the Republic was abolished, with its leaders executed. Some 1,000 died during the crisis.〔 In the aftermath of Mahabad’s collapse, the KDP‐I “effectively ceased to exist”,〔 with an exception of a handful of exiles in Iraq.〔McDowall. ''The modern history of the Kurds''. Third Edition 2007. P252-253. ()〕 The party’s urban supporters essentially disappeared into obscurity and, for the next 15 years, there was virtually no Kurdish political activity.〔 The absence of a local Kurdish armed force in Iran, and the effective absence of a large urban population, ready to be mobilized against the central government, left Iranian Kurds waiting for an external shock to provide an opportunity, much as the Second World War had.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1967 Kurdish revolt in Iran」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
