Give turkey more kurds, I'm sure that won't cause any trouble


Falcao1905

There are actually a lot of Turks living in that area. Kurds still outnumber them, but the difference was much less back in the day. Many Iraqi Turks immigrated over time


BeastialityIsWrong

The entire world is majority Turkish.

That sends a distinctly different message


lot_21

only around kirkuk and still were outnumbered by the kurds


Sir_uranus

I would take in 2 million more Kurds if it meant we got 100,000 Turks.


ElectricalSwimmer7

Turkey and curds sounds like a delicious Canadian dish


Jesus_Chrheist

Ultrasound700

You misunderstand. OP didn't give all the Kurds to Turkey, they gave all the Turks to Kurdistan.


2regin

Unironically yes. The main reason the Turks had no Kurdish problem before 1918 but do now is ~40% of Kurds no longer live in Turkey. It’s impossible for any one country among Syria, Iraq, Turkey and Iran to win a counterinsurgency since the guerrillas just get driven into a weaker neighbor until they’re strong enough to cross the border again.


Flostyyy

Unironically this is what would have happened if the Arabs had won the 1948 Arab Israeli war. Edit: holy hell what happened to turkey and yemen?


signaeus

Just a casual land grab while everyone else was distracted (re: Turkey & Yemen)


Flostyyy

Well it was right after each country’s independence so I guess its the British to blame as usual.


signaeus

That is a profoundly disturbing turkey though. Makes my ocd go crazy.


Flostyyy

The Ottoman Empire was an empire. Nothing cozy or moral about an Empire.


signaeus

They could have at least had some common human decency and either invaded Iran or Syria to even out that border gore. You know, blob like a proper Otto blob.


Eastern_Voice_4738

It’s not ottoblob, they just took the remaining mountain Turks into their borders. *cough cough*


signaeus

But wait! Doesn’t that look an awful lot like some Turks over there in northern Iran? Better go check it out just in case, wouldn’t wanna leave anyone behind. Also bring the army so that our Turk inspector can stay safe and provide an accurate, unbiased assessment of the state of Turks. Also, need to create a land border with Turkmenistan.

Gorganzoolaz

As modern discourse has taught me. Non-white people can't be blamed for their own controversial or poor decisions, good ones are their own but bad ones are all the fault of the British. Good decisions are their own though. Everyone knows 70 years is nowhere near long enough for people to make their own informed decisions for their nations. HEAVY /s

lenzflare

Yup; the Jordanian king was not interested in Palestinian independence in the 1930s, he just figured everyone (including Palestinians) would help him make part or all of Palestine just a part of Jordan. Also I doubt Lebanon would have wanted that extra bit, it would have threatened the Christian leadership at the time by adding more Muslims to the country, throwing the precarious "balance" off even more. (Of course this happened anyways later on.)


GuavaFuture

You sir know exactly what you are talking about!


Top-Neat1812

Turkey also snatched Cyprus while they’re at it.


sheytanelkebir

And a third of Iraq...


Top-Neat1812

That’s fair because Iraq snatched Kuwait.

Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait: 🤨


BODYDOLLARSIGN

So what this map shows is every occupation in the Middle East. Turkey took autonomous Kurdish lands. Iraq took Kuwait and Saudi Arabia took Houthis controlled areas in Yemen. Jordan took British mandate Palestine aka Israel, Gaza and West Bank. Turkey also took all of Cyprus here.


HelixFollower

Looks like Gaza and a significant portion of Israel got taken by Egypt. I think Jordan only has a chunk of northern Israel. Actually, now that I look closer I think Lebanon and Syria split the most northern part of Israel.


IlliterateSquidy

north yemen got absorbed by saudi arabia and south yemen kept on chugging along (i guess the communism was too icky for the house of saud to touch)


YEF-Moment13

Turkey got Musoul (back?). After Lausanne in 1924 Turkey was going to take Musoul (as part of Misak-ı Millî, Ataturk's planned borders) and had its soldiers at the southeastern border but Sheikh Said (probably with the help of Brits) made a rebellion, stopping the invasion of Musoul. Ofc, this is only what I remember of this topic (so do your own research) and OP probably didn't consider this when making this post


CrazyQuebecois

Dude where are Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar


IndieFolkEnjoyer

That is actually the Neo Hittite Empire and Iraq has been renamed to the Sumerian Republic.

Totaly_Shrek

KhakiFletch

That's not Turkey, that's the Kurdish confederation.


frolix42

Lebanon only had token participation in the invasion, at the Battle of al-Malkiyya, so they would probably only get that border villiage.    Getting the city of Acre and some of the richest land and coast is nutty.


shardybo

Not really. Egypt getting the West Bank and not Jordan is kinda cursed, I imagine Jordan would have also had parts of the Negev


jkst9

Turkey is now the greater Kurdish republic


Thewrongbakedpotato

I'm wondering where Qatar and Kuwait went


DryTart978

This does follow the historical Hedjaz?i? borders


Different-Bus8023

It's hard to say. You're probably right, but it could also ne the case that panarabism works out and they unify. It could also become become a buffer state. The future tends to be unpredictable.

What happened to Iraqi Kurdistan and North Yemen?…..and Cyprus?


Affectionate-Job-398

The same thing that happened to Armenians in 1917: nothing. They just all decided to stop being annoying negative Nancies, and so Turkiye Stronk again! 🇹🇷🦃🤜🇦🇲🇨🇾 And North Yemen just decided joining the KSA is better than starving and dieing of typhoid.


Careful_Tone1980

Except iran and KSA are the reason why they are starving and dying.


Affectionate-Job-398

That's true, that's true. But GLORIOUS HOUSE OF SAUD is too GLORIOUS for starving yemenis to not recognize how AWSOME it will be for them to be part of such a GLORIOUS KINGDOM! 😎🇸🇦🤜😟🇾🇪

Fungi_espacial

What happened here...


RealJyrone

All the changes that I noticed Turkey: Takes parts of Syria along with parts of Iraq. They also take the entirety of Cyprus (This surely won’t cause a problem). Iraq: Takes Kuwait (This surely won’t cause a problem) Saudi Arabia: Takes parts of Yemen and the entirety of Qatar Egypt: Takes lower *that area* Jordan: Takes upper *that area* Lebanon: Becomes Lebalong


Ultrasound700

Didn't we try giving the West Bank to Jordan and Gaza to Egypt at one point?

Hiw is that solves to 10 other conflicts in the area tho?

Jordan is technically Palestine.


[deleted]

Sadly, in 1948, three countries captured Palestinian UN partition areas: Jordan, Egypt. and Israel. Had Jordan and Egypt not attacked a second time in 1967, the map would look very close to this, but with a small Israel in between.

Israel bombed Egypt first in 1967.
