The Ottoman province of "Kurdistan" received its name in the nineteenth century. The province's naming and formation are tied to a specific historical setting. The naming commemorated the disintegration of the Kurdish emirates. Yazdanşêr's revolt exemplifies the region's subsequent instability. What may be more intriguing is how powerful persons were dealt with. It may appear unusual for a rebel leader to be handed positions of power in the aftermath, yet this is a long-standing pattern.
