Did the Barzani Revolt have any effect on the war effort?

You already made your video about Kurds in WW2 several years ago, excellent video by the way, but one thing left out was the Barzani Revolt in Iraq from 1943-45. Was it because the revolt was an internal affair for Iraq and had no impact on WW2?

It was an out of the foxholes video, Indy discussed a Kurd who was awarded hero of the Soviet Union and a Hundred year old Kurd who served as a British levy and mentioned how some Kurds fought with the Free French.

Many thanks Indiana Jones. I really appreciate it :-). I am sure my Kurdish friend appreciates as well.

Kurdistan is a beautiful country with a sad history.

I hope your friends enjoy it, yeah Iraqi Kurdistan particularly Erbil is a very beautiful place. I have always wanted to go. The Kurdish conflict throughout Syria, Turkey, Iraq, and Iran is a big problem that really needs to be better addressed in more mainstream international politics (not to get to political lol).
