abstract
  • The Simele Massacre ( , ) was a massacre committed by the armed forces of the Kingdom of Iraq during a campaign systematically targeting the Assyrians of northern Iraq in August 1933. The term is used to describe not only the massacre in Simele, but also the killing spree that took place among 63 Assyrian villages in the Dohuk and Mosul districts that led to the deaths of between 600 and 3,000 Assyrians. The Assyrian people were still recovering from one of the darkest periods of their history. During the Assyrian Genocide during and after World War I, more than half of their population was massacred by Turkish nationalists and Kurds. The term 'genocide' was coined by Raphael Lemkin, who was directly influenced by the story of this massacre and the Armenian Genocide.
