The Uprising of Sheikh Ubeydullah refers to a Kurdish uprising against the Ottoman Empire in 1879 and Qajar Iran between 1880 and 1881. Both uprising were led by Sheikh Ubeydullah, the leader of the Semdinan Naqshbandi family who claimed descendance from Mohammed through his daughter Fatima.[1] Thus the family had a considerable influence, disposed over large amounts of donations,[2] owned several villages in the region[1] and many Kurdish tribal leaders were devout followers of him.[3] The initial cause for the uprisings were the outcome of the Russo-Turkish war in 1877-78 and the Treaty of Berlin[4] which provided the Christian Armenians and the Nestorians with considerable rights and autonomy, to which he did not agree to.[4]
