Nagorno-Karabakh Wars

1988 CE – 2023 CE

Decades of conflict over the Armenian-populated Nagorno-Karabakh enclave within Azerbaijan. After Armenia's 1994 victory, a frozen conflict lasted until Azerbaijan's 2020 drone-warfare victory recovered most territory. Azerbaijan's 2023 offensive forced the entire Armenian population of 120,000 to flee.
