About the battle
Battle of Shekar Yazi (Kurdish: شەڕی شەکەریاز, romanized: Şeřî Şekeriyaz) took place on 21 January 1920 between the forces of Simko Shikak, a Kurdish tribal leader, and the government of Iran. This confrontation was part of the broader Kurdish uprisings in early 20th-century Iran, during a period marked by regional unrest and efforts by Kurdish leaders to assert autonomy.
