Changes

The Modern Assyrians began as a [[Nestorian]] [[Christian]] sect, closely related to [[Chaldeans]] and speaking a dialect of [[Aramaic]], found mainly in northern Iraq and Iran, whose members claimed to be ascended from the ancient Assyrians. They became involved in the political turbulence in the area in the 1920s and 1930s caused by [[Soviet Russia]]n expansion, and new nationalism in [[Turkey]], Iraq and Syria. This was to bring about a diaspora of Assyrians to many parts of the globe including U.S.A. and various parts of the British Commonwealth.
