The Kurds in Iraq have voted in a referendum with hopes of getting their own homeland.
The Kurdish referendum in Iraq has been a long time coming. It finally happened on Monday, after years of campaigning.
The Kurds living in northern Iraq have been pushing for independence since the end of World War I.
In 2005, an overwhelming majority said they wanted a referendum. But it did not happen.
Now they have finally voted for secession in an official poll. But will that actually translate to independence for the Iraqi Kurds?
