Keywords:
kurdos, orden mundial, nacionalismo kurdo, orden regional y Medio Oriente.Abstract
This paper synthesizes the most relevant international events from the emergence of Kurdish nationalism in the 19th century to the consolidation of the Autonomous Region of Rojava in 2014. The first section highlights the international context in which the Ottoman Empire leaves its organization traditional government in favor of the implementation of liberal reforms coming from the world order. In the second part, the emergence of a new world order at the end of the First World War is analyzed as well as how the dream of an independent Kurdistan was eroded. The third part, discusses the way in which the Kurdish population was distributed in different states of the Middle East and finally, it is observed how the American hegemony in the Middle East was not favorable to the Kurds until the invasion of Iraq in 2003 , explaining the Kurdish prominence in the 21st century.
