During the Circassian genocide, approximately 1,500,000[1][2][3][4] Circassians and other Caucasians were expelled from their ancestral homeland. The majority of this figure was displaced to the Ottoman Empire and a much smaller amount to Qajar Iran. An unknown amount of these deportees died before reaching their destination.[5] | |||||||||

The Battle of Qbaada[a] took place in today's Krasnaya Polyana on 2 June [O.S. 21 May] 1864.[6][2][7][8] It is widely accepted as the final military engagement of the Russo-Circassian War,[9][10][11][4][12] as the Circassian people could no longer continue to resist the invading Imperial Russian Army.
A significant development in the wider Caucasian War, it was after the Battle of Qbaada that the Russian Empire annexed Circassia and initiated the Circassian genocide, in which 95% to 97% of the country's population was ethnically cleansed, leading to the creation of the Circassian diaspora.
