The Kurds received help during their genocide through various means. International humanitarian aid organizations provided assistance by offering shelter, food, and medical aid to the displaced and affected population. Some countries also provided support by granting asylum to Kurdish refugees and condemning the genocide, which increased international pressure on the perpetrators. However, it is important to note that the assistance was not sufficient to stop the genocide or fully address the needs of the affected population.
There is a misunderstanding here. The victims of the genocide in World War 1 were the Armenians. Kurds were encouraged by the Ottoman Turkish government to act as perpetrators.
The Kurds only really consider the United States to be an ally in their attempt at statehood in a relatively weak fashion. This is because the US has been the only country that has intervened in Kurdish affairs and did not repeatedly try to discriminate against them or commit genocide against them (a relatively low-bar). Additionally, the Kurds were the real winners of the Iraq War, which the US started, because it resulted in Kurdish autonomy from Iraq. However, Kurds are wary of the strong Turkish-US alliance, which impedes the independence or autonomy of Turkish Kurdistan.
No. There are currently ~35 million Kurds.
There are between 6.2 and 6.5 million Kurds in Iraq.
Turkey has the largest population of Kurds, with estimates ranging from 15 to 20 million people. Kurds are the largest ethnic minority in Turkey.
Every ethnic group has a right to demand an independent country. The areas the Kurds live in today has always belonged to Kurds and their ancestors.

Probably the most notable genocide in that period was the Anfal Campaign, which was an Iraqi Genocide targeting Kurds for elimination. It is believed that roughly 183,000 Kurds were murdered. The time period was also during the larger time period of the Indonesian Occupation of East Timor wherein there was a slower genocide perpetrated against the native Timorese.
There have never been any international criminal trials or civil trials concerning the Armenian Genocide since Turkey has effectively prevented many major countries from recognizing the genocide. So, no conspirator in the genocide, of which a large minority were Kurds, has ever been brought to justice. However, unlike the Turks, several Kurds have apologized and sought forgiveness for the crimes of the Armenian Genocide or have been active in promoting the recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

The Assyrian Genocide was committed by the Ottoman Turks against the Assyrians during the time of the Armenian and Greek Genocides also commited by the Turks. 750,000 Assyrians died at the hands of the Ottoman Turks, Kurds, and Arabs, just for being Christians.
It depends on which one. Most people use the term "Iraq genocide" to apply exclusively to the al-Anfal Campaign which was responsible for the cruel murder of 184,000 Kurds.
Saddam Hussein killed many people for no reason . He also created genocide between the Kurds !
Was Rwanda governmentally organized during the Genocide?
Saddam Hussein had committed numerous atrocities against the Kurds and Shiites, including a genocide against the Kurds (called the Anfal Campaign). As a result they hated him and wanted to punish him. Unfortunately, they had to wait until 2006 to put him on trial for his crimes.
It was not really a war. It was a genocide. Thousands of Kurds (civilians in most cases) were gassed to death by a merciless Iraqi Regime. There were certainly Kurdish militants who tried to fight back, but they were nowhere near as effective as the Iraqi Army.
Jews were subject to genocide during WW2.
