The Kurdish political culture during Post-WWI did not prompt much Kurdish nationalism because the movement was neither powerful‚ nor compelling‚ but rather underdeveloped and new. During this time‚ the Kurds withstood “tribal fragmentation”‚ as well as “the absence of a hegemonic Kurdish dialect and the slow development of the written language due to the historical dominance of Arabic‚ Turkish‚ and Persian; and a relative detachment from direct modern Western influences”.
