In 1921, Miandoab was the site of a significant battle during the Kurdish uprising led by Simko Shikak. His forces, numbering several thousand and reinforced by Turkish Kurds, defeated Iranian government troops and took control of the city. The battle marked the height of Simko's power during his revolt in northwestern Iran.[12][13][14]
