Who surely is the stepsons of history is the Kurds (a rather warlike nation, at least a good irregular cavalry). The largest nation in history that does not have its own state. When the Entente (Russia had already left it) drew a map of the world after the First World War, they forgot about the Kurds and they were divided between Turkey, Iran and Iraq. Didn't she have any leaders?

on the other hand, it is not clear why, for so many years, they did not do this, if Abkhazia and Ossetia were able to
