The 1935 Yazidi revolt took place in Iraq in October 1935.Fuccaro, Nelinda. "Ethnicity, State Formation, and Conscription in Postcolonial Iraq: The Case of the Yazidi Kurds of Jabal Sinjar". International Journal of Middle East Studies Vol. 29, No. 4 (Nov., 1997), pp. 559-580. JSTOR. The Iraqi army, led by Bakr Sidqi, reportedly killed over 200 Yazidi and imposed martial law throughout the region. 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 Shingal constituted the majority of Iraqi Yazidi population - the third largest non-Muslim minority within the kingdom. In 1939, the region of Jabal Shingal was once again put under military control, together with the Shekhan District.
