1961–1970 conflict between Iraq and Kurdish militias
The First Iraqi–Kurdish War (Arabic: الحرب العراقية الكردية الأولى), also known as the September Revolution (Kurdish: شۆڕشی ئەیلوول), was an armed conflict and major event of the Iraqi–Kurdish conflict, lasting from 1961 until 1970. The conflict was led by Mustafa Barzani, in an attempt to establish an independent Kurdistan. Throughout the 1960s, the insurgency escalated into a long war, which failed to resolve despite internal power changes in Iraq. During the war, 80% of the Iraqi army was engaged in combat with the Kurds. A series of Iraqi–Kurdish negotiations followed the war in an attempt to resolve the conflict, ultimately leading to the Iraqi–Kurdish Autonomy Agreement of 1970, which eventually failed, reigniting war between the two sides in the Second Iraqi–Kurdish War.
