Description
At the end of World War I several plans for the Middle East were drawn up, most famously the Wilsonian Plan for an independent Armenian State. A less known plan was to also create an independent state for the Assyrians, a Christian ethnicity in today's Iran, Iraq and Syria, who were also targeted by the Ottomans in the Assyrian Genocide (part of the over all genocide comminted against Armenians and other non-islamic minorities). The plan never came to fruition (as did basicaly all plans for successor states in today's Turkey).Credits: Elements taken from wikimedia commons, thanks to for the inspiration to create this piece.
