The reason behind choosing this topic is there is not special research in universities on the subject, despite the may sources that refer to the attacks of Kurds and Sherkas against Christians, and we have relied in this research on the historical curriculum and some other curricul such as Ranky and Analysis.
This study had a number of limitations. Firstly, shortage of academic and scientific sources in Kurdish was a big obstacle. This made the researcher get sources from other languages and translate them into Kurdish which was very difficult and time consuming. Secondly, Covid 19 was another big obstacle that led to closing many libraries for a long period of time; besides, the researcher himself was a victim of Covid 19.
Finally, this study consists of an introduction, three chapters and a conclusion. Chapter one focuses on the conflicts between the great countries and their flow to Kurdistan, and the second Chapter is about the organizations (1839-1876), the rights contined for Christians in the reform statements,and the last research summarized the attempts of the great states with reason to preserve Christians from the attacks of Kurds and Cherks and their pressure on the Ottoman Empire The study ends with presenting the conclusion of the study .
