During the Circassian Genocide, about 1,500,000[1][2][3][4] indigenous highland Caucasians were expelled mainly to the Ottoman Empire, and a much smaller number to Persia. An unknown number of those expelled died during deportation.[5]

The Battle of Qbaada (Adyghe: Ӏаткъуадж зауэ, romanized: 'atqwadj zawə; Abkhaz: Гәбаадәы аибашьра, romanized: Gubaadu aibashra; Russian: Кра́снополя́нская битва) took place in 1864 between the last remains of the Circassians and the Russian imperial forces during the Russo-Circassian War.[6][2][7][8][3][9][4][10] It is widely accepted as the last battle of the war as no other significant battles, other than scattered rebellions, occurred thereafter.[11][12][13][4][14]
