What is the largest ethnic group in the world without their own nation?
Answer: The Kurds, who number 20–25 million.
The Kurds have lived in a mountainous, roughly 74,000-square-mile region known as Kurdistan for the past two millennia. Throughout their history they have remained under the thumb of various conquerors and nations, even though they were promised their own country after WWI. Since the early 20th century, the Kurdish region has been divided between Turkey, Iran, Syria, and Iraq, all of which have repressed, often brutally, their Kurdish minority—even banning their Kurdish language in schools, political settings, and broadcasts.
