Caucasus Campaign

The Caucasus Campaign was a series of military operations during World War I, primarily between the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire, from 1914 to 1918. It took place in the rugged Caucasus region, a strategic area between Eastern Europe and Western Asia. The campaign aimed to gain control of the vital oil resources and territory. The fighting involved mountain warfare, with both sides facing difficult terrain and harsh weather conditions. It also included clashes with Armenian and Georgian forces, influencing regional politics and the post-war rearrangement of territory. The campaign ended with the defeat of the Ottoman forces and significant territorial changes.
