Dersim Massacre


Dersim Massacre

The Dersim Massacre took place in 1937 and 1938 in Dersim, now called Tunceli Province, in Turkey. It was the outcome of a Turkish military campaign against the Dersim Rebellion by local ethnic minority groups against Turkey's Resettlement Law of 1934. Thousands of Alevi and Zaza Kurds[4] died and many others were internally displaced due to the conflict.
