Circassian genocide (may 10, 1862 – jan 21, 1867)

Description:

The Circassian genocide was the Russian Empire's ethnic cleansing, killing, forced migration, and expulsion of the majority of the Circassians from their historical homeland Circassia, which roughly encompassed the major part of the North Caucasus and the northeast shore of the Black Sea. This occurred in the aftermath of the Caucasian War in the last quarter of the 19th century. The displaced people moved primarily to the Ottoman Empire.
Approximately 90-95% of the Circassian population were killed or expelled during this period. Estimates range from 500,000 to 1.5 million expelled or killed.
