From the Azov to the Caspian seas.

What are the causes of war? Dates of the war? Who is to blame for this war? Was there a victory? ….?....? And most importantly, was it a war or something else? Questions from yesterday and today: There are very, very many of them, and among them:

1 . Russian Colonial War: Ideas of a humane mission quickly gave way to ideas of conquest and revenge. There was a well-thought-out conquest and settlement of the Caucasian region. Caucasian War - or?

2. People's liberation movement: There was no unity among the mountaineers. The highlanders rebelled against the highlanders. Shamil was not loved and revered everywhere. Caucasian War - or?

3. The real revolution: The economy was changing Statehood was being formed A new ideology was being formed The interests of Russia, the highlanders, Turkey, Persia, England were colliding Russia was fulfilling a civilizing mission The Caucasian War - or?

1. The establishment of Russia in the Caucasus in geopolitical terms was facilitated by the consolidation of its southern borders along natural mountain barriers and made it possible to organize military-political pressure on Turkey and Iran 2. The need to ensure a stable connection with the annexed Transcaucasia (Georgia, Azerbaijan), from which Russia was practically cut off. 3. The tendency of the mountaineers to a predatory lifestyle, to the slave trade, to raids on neighboring territories and replenishment of their wealth due to this. Causes of the war

STAGE I - (1816-1819): predominance guerrilla warfare highlanders; arrival in the Caucasus of A. Ermolov; construction of Russian fortresses and forced resettlement of highlanders to the plains.

In a report to the sovereign emperor, the commander-in-chief of the Russian army in the Caucasus, Prince Baryatinsky, wrote: “From the Caspian Sea to the Georgian Military Road, the Caucasus is subjugated by your Power.” Result of the war:

It did not want to end; the unrest continued until 1884. The consequences were quite contradictory: the raids stopped, there was an increase in development, but everyone counted their losses and were horrified by them. A lot of highlanders moved to Turkey. The war was declared over in 1864, BUT:

The war left a lot of questions to which there are still no truthful and open answers. And old questions give rise to new ones. MAIN:

The Caucasian War was and remains an incompletely studied event. Its reasons are formulated schematically. There is no consensus among historians on the main issues of the war.

Catherine the Great continued the movement to the South begun by Peter I. At the same time, expansion took place in two directions at once. The first - through the lands of the Turkic and Grebensky Cossacks to Chechnya and Dagestan and the second - through the Georgian kingdoms and principalities. In 1763, a year after Catherine’s accession to the throne, the Mozdok fortress was founded, after which a protracted 14-year war with the Kabardians began (1765-1779). As a result of this war, the Caucasian line (the southern border of the Russian Empire) was extended and a new Cossack army Mozdok, located on the reclaimed lands of Kabarda. Russia's successes were closely monitored from Ottoman Empire. In 1768, Türkiye declared war, outraged by Russia’s refusal to withdraw troops from Poland!!!. During this war, Russian troops crossed the Caucasus ridge for the first time - to Tiflis. Under the leadership of commander Gottlieb von Totleben, Kutaisi was taken in 1770, but the next operation near Poti ended in failure. Eventually in 1772 the Russians retreated to their border line. As you know, this war ended in the victory of Russian weapons. In 1774, according to the Treaty of Kuchuk-Kainardzhi, the Russian border moved to Kuban, and, importantly, the Crimean Khanate gained independence. Russia temporarily turned its gaze away from the Caucasus towards Crimea. True, over these years, the Caucasian line, through the efforts of Jacobi and Suvorov, was significantly strengthened, and a number of fortresses were built: Ekaterinodar, Georgievsk, Stavropol. In 1783, the Nogais were exterminated by Suvorov. A rather unpleasant campaign that had a bad impact on the perception of the Russian presence in the region. Subsequently, the surviving Nogais moved to the foothills of Chechnya and assimilated with the local population, carrying within them a blood-borne hostility towards everything Russian. The depopulated Kuban lands began to be populated by serfs. In the same year, 1783, on August 5, when the Persian Shah Ali Murad began to lay claim to Kartli and Kakheti, the Kakheti king Erekle II signed the Treaty of Georgievsk, according to which a Russian protectorate was established in Kartli and Kakheti. Three months later, on November 15, two Russian battalions with four guns under the command of Pyotr Potemkin (cousin of the all-powerful Grigory Potemkin) entered Tiflis. During this raid, P. Potemkin managed to found the Vladikavkaz fortress and turn the caravan route in the Daryal Gorge into “some kind of road.” In the future, this will be the famous Georgian Military Road. After a show of force, P. Potemkin left Tiflis and Vladikavkaz in February 1784. Heraclius II was left without any military assistance and with the angry Shah of Persia in his neighborhood. In May 1795, the founder of the Qajar dynasty, Khan Agha Muhamad, defeated a small army of Heraclius near Tiflis and entered the city. The Khan's wars caused monstrous massacres and robberies. In response to this, Catherine declared war on the Shah. During this war, Kubakh and Baku were re-occupied, and Derbent was captured for the third time (and the capture of Derbent was not part of the empress’s plan).

The Caucasus is the territory between the Black and Caspian seas, it was divided
in Transcaucasia and the North Caucasus, the border between them ran along
the main Caucasian Ridge.
The reasons for the war were political. Three empires - Russia, Türkiye
and Persia have claimed dominion over the Caucasus since ancient times
considered the gateway from Asia to Europe. Ultimately, as a result of two
wars with Turkey (1806-1812 and 1828-1829) and two wars with Persia (1804-1813
and 1826-1828) Russia managed to defend its rights to the Caucasus. As a result
the peoples of the Caucasus seemed to automatically go to Russian Empire.
However, the mountaineers themselves did not agree with this turn in their fate.

Dagestan by surrounding the mountainous regions with continuous
a ring of fortifications with clearings in
difficult forests, laying roads and
destruction of rebellious villages.
Its result was the strengthening of Russian power in Kabarda
and Kumyk lands, in the foothills and plains. Russians
moved forward gradually, methodically cutting down forests, in
which the mountaineers were hiding.

Announces the topic of the lesson. Slide 3, 4

Introduces the lesson plan.

1. Russian policy in the Caucasus.

2. Causes of the Caucasian War.

3. Military operations in the Caucasus.

Explanation of the first point.

The Caucasus is the territory between the Black, Azov, and Caspian seas. It is divided into Transcaucasia and Northern Caucasus, the border between which runs along the Main Caucasian Ridge.

Using a map, list the territories of the Caucasus annexed by Russia in 1830.

After the annexation of Georgia, parts of Armenia and Azerbaijan to Russia, the territory numerous peoples The North Caucasus found itself surrounded by Russian possessions.

The government has made attempts to introduce in these territories Russian laws. This caused resistance from a number of North Caucasian peoples.

Working with the textbook

Find out, using the textbook, who the Highlanders are. (Mountaineers is a collective name given by the official authorities to various peoples of the North Caucasus)

Explanation of the second point.

The Caucasian War began in 1817.

Read pages 82 – 83 and write down the causes of the Caucasian War, which lasted almost 50 years.

Causes of the Caucasian War: (Slide 5)

Raids on settled Russian territories;

Slave trade;

The tsarist government attracted the local population to build fortresses, roads, and bridges;

Introduction of new taxes;

- “pacifying” campaigns of General A.P. Ermolov led to the destruction of villages, crops, etc.

What was the nature of the policy of the tsarist government in the Caucasus? (Military methods, subjugation with weapons)

Student's message about A.P.'s policy Ermolov in the Caucasus. Slide 6

In such a situation, unrest often broke out among the mountaineers. At first, the resistance of the mountaineers to Russian troops was not organized. The ideology of muridism united the mountaineers. Muridism is a religious and political doctrine. Slide 7

Muridism is based on the ideas of spiritual improvement and unquestioning submission to a mentor, leader (imam). The murids were characterized by religious fanaticism and the proclamation of ghazavat - the Holy War against infidels

In 1834, Shamil was proclaimed the new imam (head of the murids), who gathered almost all the highlanders of Dagestan and Chechnya under his authority and successfully fought against Russian troops. Slide 8

Explanation of the fourth point

Shamil managed to create a strong theocratic state - the Imamate. Slide 9

Theocracy is a form of government in which the head of state (usually monarchical) is also its religious head. A disciplined army was created. Any disobedience to the authority of the imam was severely punished as apostasy. The imam himself was considered a person chosen by God for a great feat for the benefit of believers.

What explains the success of the Shamil mountaineers?

Thus, the discipline and strong, fanatical faith of the murid mountaineers allowed them to fight successfully. Shamil made attempts to enlist the support of foreign states in the fight against the Russian Empire (Türkiye and England).

Russian government after unsuccessful military operations, he returns to the tactics of building fortifications, new roads, cutting down forests, and creating military fortifications.

As a result, such tactics bore fruit. In addition, the ruling elite of the Imamate began to ruin the common people with taxes and military extortions. As a result, popular unrest against Shamil began in Northern Dagestan.

In August 1859, Shamil surrendered, and his state ceased to exist. By the end of 1863, Russian troops occupied the entire North Caucasus. The war ended with the victory of Russian weapons.

What are the consequences of the Caucasian War for Russia and the peoples of the Caucasus?

Russia won with very heavy casualties and a huge expenditure of material resources, which slowed down economic development Russia.

Abolition of the slave trade, development of the region, end to feudal wars.

Caucasus! distant country!
The home of liberty is simple!
And you are full of misfortunes
And bloodied by war!..
Really caves and rocks
Under the wild veil of darkness
They will also hear the cry of passions,
The sound of glory, gold and chains?..
No! don't expect past years
Circassian, to his fatherland:
Freedom's formerly dear land
Noticeably dying for her.
