The Emergence of Kurdish Nationalism and the Sheikh Said Rebellion, 1880-1925 (3996 words)
The Sheikh Said rebellion represented an incipient nationalism that was also challenged by a strong nationalism that had mobilized in the course of the past thirty years, gathered strength during World War I, and further energized by the war of liberation with the power of an organized state behind it.
The vehicles created and the laws passed for the suppression of the rebellion and the symbols of opposition to the Kemalist program that it generated meant that the consolidation of the Turkish state and of Turkish nationalism were greatly expedited by the suppression and perceived threat of Kurdish nationalism.
The suppression of the Sheikh Said rebellion contributed to the consolidation of the new Turkish republic, the evolution and domination of the Republican People's Party (Cumhuriyet Halk Firkasi) and the one-party state it represented up to 1950, and the greater articulation of Turkish nationalism on which the party and the state were based.

Some distinguish rebellion from a coup or a revolution: if the purpose of the rebellion is not necessarily to create drastic changes in the regime or in the existing legal and social arrangements, then it is not a revolution, wpurpose is to bring about sudden drastic changes.
As a development of the techniques of non-violent action, the events of the fifties and sixties in the United States raised social awareness regarding the possibilities of changing the law in unparliamentary ways.
