Massacres of Badr Khan : ウィキペディア英語版 | Massacres of Badr Khan
The Massacres of Bader Khan were a series of massacres carried out by the Kurdish Emirs of Bohtan and Hakkari, Badr Khan and Nurallah, against the Assyrians of Hakkari and Tiyari in the 1840s. The massacres resulted in the killing of more than 10,000 Assyrians and the captivity of thousands of others. It also led to the Ottoman intervention, under Western pressure, to overthrow the last semi-independent Kurdish Emirates in 1847. == Background == The Ottoman Empire had been significantly weakened by the 19th century, which resulted in the loss of central control over Upper Mesopotamia and Kurdistan. It seemed as if the Empire was on the brink of collapse when Muhammad Ali revolted in Egypt and took control of Syria. It was then that Kurdish Emirs found an opportunity to assert their independence. Among them was Ibrahim Pasha, a Kurdish Emir whose dominion included a region extending from Diyarbakir to Aleppo, and who fought alongside Muhammad Ali against the Ottomans and their allies from the Arab Shammar tribe in Jazira. Despite the failure of Muhammad Pasha in his Syrian campaign, the events showed the vulnerability of the Ottomans and encouraged Kurdish agha's to try and increase their control in the region. This period witnessed an increase of British influence as well, apparently fearing another French attempt similar to Napoleon's Egyptian campaign. The British appointed Hormuzd Rassam, an ethnic Assyrian archaeologist from Mosul and brother-in-law of Britain's ambassador in the city, as a delegate to extend British influence to the areas of the independent Assyrian tribes. British and American Protestant missionaries, such as Justin Perkins and Asahel Grant, started visiting the area in the same period. They generally showed great sympathy to the Assyrian Christians. The Kurds however were wary of them, and Assyrians hospitality towards the foreigners only increased their suspicion.
