'''Barwar''' ({{lang-syr|ܒܪܘܪ}}) also known as '''Barwari''' and '''Barwari Bala''', is a region situated in northern [[Dohuk Governorate]] in [[Iraq]]. The region is populated by [[Kurds]] and [[Assyrians]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The mountainous region was part of the [[Adiabene (East Syrian Ecclesiastical Province)#The diocese of Beth Nuhadra|diocese of Beth Nuhadra]] (current day [[Dohuk, Iraq|Dohuk]]) since antiquities and have seen a mass migration of Nestorians after the [[Siege of Baghdad (1258)|fall of Baghdad]] in 1258 and [[Timurlane]]'s invasion from central Iraq.<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=zHxsWspxGIIC&pg=PA318 Islamic desk reference], E. J. van Donzel</ref><br />
<br />
Its Christian inhabitants were little affected by the Ottoman conquests, however starting from the 19th century [[Kurdish people|Kurdish]] [[Emir]]s sought to expand their territories at their expense. In the 1830s Muhammad Rawanduzi, the Emir of [[Soran Emirate|Soran]], tried to forcibly add the region to his dominion pillaging many Assyrian villages. [[Bedr Khan Beg]] of [[Bohtan]] renewed attacks on the region in the 1840s, killing tens of thousands of Assyrians in Barwari and [[Hakkari]] before being ultimately defeated by the [[Ottomans]].<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=dgDi9qFT41oC&pg=PA47 A modern history of the Kurds], David McDowall</ref><br />

Many Assyrians who survived later suffered in the [[Assyrian Genocide]] by the Ottoman Army and their Kurdish allies during the [[First World War]]; others took refuge in [[Urmia]] led by their patriarch, [[Mar Shimun XXI Benyamin]].<ref>{{citation|last1=Gaunt|first1=David|last2= Beṯ-Şawoce|first2=Jan|title=Massacres, resistance, protectors: Muslim-Christian relations in Eastern Anatolia during World War I|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=4mug9LrpLKcC&pg=PA32|year=2006|page=32|publisher=Gorgias Press LLC|isbn=978-1-59333-301-0}}</ref> Later attempts for their resettlement in Barwar were largely unsuccessful.<ref>{{citation|last1=Stafford|first1=Ronald Sempill|title=The Tragedy of the Assyrians|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=LSzuzsRh37gC&pg=PA32|year=2006|page=41|publisher=Gorgias Press LLC|isbn=978-1-59333-413-0}}</ref><br />

All of the Barwari Jews left for [[Israel]] shortly after its independence. The region was heavily affected by the Kurdish uprisings during the 1950s and 60s and was largely depopulated during the [[Anfal campaign]] in the 1980s.<br />
