Slaget vid Rawanduz eller slaget vid Hendrenbergen var en del av irakisk-kurdiska kriget och stod 1966 mellan styrkor från Kurdistans Demokratiska Parti (KDP) som leddes av Mustafa Barzani och Republiken Irak som leddes av Abdul Rahman Arif.[1] Slaget var ett överraskningsanfall som utfördes av KDP:s peshmerga-partisaner mot den irakiska militärbasen vid Rawanduz på morgonen den 11 maj 1966.[2] Slaget ledde till en stor seger för de kurdiska styrkorna. Efter slaget började fredsförhandlingar. 1970 skrevs ett avtal om kurdiskt självstyre, som dock inte förverkligades.

Culturally and historically Kurdistan has been part of what is known as Greater Iran (or historic Persia). In addition to Kurds who comprise the majority of the population of the region there are also communities of Arab, Armenian, Assyrian, Azeri, Jewish, Ossetian, Persian, and Turkic people traditionally scattered throughout the region. Most of its inhabitants are Muslim, but there are also significant numbers of other religious sects such as Yazidi, Zoroastrian, Yarsan, Alevi, Christian, Jewish, Sarayi, Bajwan, Shabak, and Sarli.
