Against the Iraqi government, the Kurds, who constantly rebelled under the leadership of the Barzani tribe (1931, 1943, 1959, 1961, 1964-1969, 1974-1975), With a law enacted in 1974, they achieved gains such as the establishment of an autonomous administration including Erbil, Dohuk and Sulaymaniyah and the official language of Kurdish. Because the Kurds wanted Kirkuk, the clashes continued and they lost all of their gains with the Algerian Agreement (1975).
