Best Answer

The UK government did not actively destroy Kurdistan, but passively destroyed it. According to the Treaty of Sevres, there was supposed to be an independent Kurdistan, but when the new Turkish government refused to abide by that treaty, the British and French were too worn out from World War I to force Turkey to adhere to the terms. So, they accepted the new Treaty of Lausanne which prevented the creation of an independent Kurdistan.

When was Kurdistan divided between Iraq Iran Syria and Turkey?

The first major division of the region of Kurdistan occurred in the early 1500s when the Safavids of Iran and Ottomans of Turkey created a border that separated Iranian Kurdistan permanently from Turkish/Iraqi/Syrian Kurdistan. With the Fall of the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman government capitulated to Allies at the end of World War I and signed the Treaty of Sèvres in 1919, which, among other things, granted the right for an independent Kurdistan. However, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk overthrew the Ottoman government and established the modern Republic of Turkey. He successfully opposed the Greek forces on the Anatolian mainland and prevented the realization of a new Kurdish state in the east. Thus in 1923, the Treaty of Sèvres was abrogated by the Treaty of Lausanne and Kurdistan was further divided by the creation of the French Mandate of Syria and the British Mandate of Iraq. This is how Kurdistan as a region was divided.
