Edited By Oleg Airapetov [REGNUM] The defeat of the German and the collapse of the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires led to a sharp change in the situation in Transcaucasia. The Batumi treaty was canceled, the German and Turkish troops left, their place was taken by the British. New opportunities arose for local nationalist governments, and the main problem was the redistribution of territories in a space where ethnic stripes were the basis for mutually exclusive claims of the parties. Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan proclaimed the borders, which made war between these republics inevitable. |
