The 1935 Yazidi revolt took place in Iraq in October 1935.^[1] The Iraqi government, under Yasin al-Hashimi, crushed a revolt by the Kurdish-speaking Yazidi of Jabal Sinjar against the imposition of conscription.^[1]^[2] The Iraqi army, led by Bakr Sidqi, reportedly killed over 200 Yazidi and imposed martial law throughout the region.^[1] Parallel revolts opposing conscription also broke out that year in the northern (Kurdish populated) and mid-Euphrates (majorly Shia populated) regions of Iraq.

The Yazidis of Jabal Sinjar constituted the majority of Iraqi Yazidi population - the third largest non-Muslim minority within the kingdom, and the largest heterodox Kurdish-speaking group in the province of Mosul.^[2] In 1939, the region of Jabal Sinjar was once again put under military control, together with the Shekhan District.^[2]
