Ottoman Kurdistan refers to areas of Kurdistan which were part of the Ottoman Empire. During the Ottoman Empire's peak they controlled all of modern-day Turkish Kurdistan, Iraqi Kurdistan, and Syrian Kurdistan, as well as a small part of Iranian Kurdistan. The term "Kurdistan" was used regularly by Ottoman officials to refer to its regions where Kurds made up a majority, and was included on many maps.[1]
A map printed in 1893, during the reign of Abdul Hamid II, showing the lands of the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East. In the middle of the map is the word کردستان (Kurdistan).
