Caucasian War
Sign in to saveAlso known as Colonisation of Caucasus
1763–1864 invasion of the Caucasus by the Russian Empire
The Caucasian War (1763–1864) was a century-long conflict in which the Russian Empire invaded and conquered the Caucasus region, a mountainous area between Europe and Asia. This prolonged struggle is historically significant because it marked Russia's imperial expansion southward and resulted in major demographic and political changes in the Caucasus, including the displacement of indigenous populations.
