First Armenian Republic

The First Armenian Republic was the first modern Armenian state, established in 1918 after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. It emerged from the Armenian Genocide's aftermath, aiming to create an independent nation for Armenians. Located in the territory of present-day Armenia, it faced challenges like territorial disputes, internal political struggles, and economic difficulties. The republic prioritized establishing governance and national identity but struggled to secure lasting stability amid regional conflicts. It lasted until 1920, when it was briefly independent before being incorporated into the Soviet Union. This period laid the groundwork for Armenia's national sovereignty and modern statehood.
