Why did the Kurdish genocide occur?
Answer 1
Because kurdish people want to get their freedom , and have their own land not associated with arabs . So saddam regime genocide them so as to get rid of the kurdish people and dont ask for their freedom any more but it just make it worse .
Answer 2
the main time of the Kurdish Genocide was in 1988 when the Iraqi people bombed many Kurdish lands. The Kurdish people were a vast population, but they did not have a state of their own. Because of this they resided in many mid eastern countries. this angered the Iraqi government and a plan broke out to punish all Kurds. At first it was just taking all the men above the age of 13 and killing them, then it resorted to using poison gas to bomb many towns. this killed thousands of innocent Kurds all because of their religion.

The PKK's ideology is founded on revolutionary Marxism-Leninism and Kurdish nationalism. The PKK's goal has been to create an independent, socialist Kurdish state in Kurdistan; a geographical region that comprises parts of southeastern Turkey, northeastern Iraq, northeastern Syria and northwestern Iran, where the Kurdish population is the majority. This goal has now been moderated to claiming cultural and political rights for the ethnic Kurdish population in Turkey.

Kurdistan is a term applied to regions of southeast Turkey, northeast Syria, northern Iraq, and northwest Iran in reference to the Kurdish ethnic majority who live on that land. The Kurds, by and large, want independence from their host nations and to create an independent republic on these majority Kurdish lands, but this has not yet happened. The closest to this are the Iraqi and Syrian Kurdistans which have become de facto independent as a result of the Iraqi Civil War (between the government and ISIL) and the Syrian Civil War.
