The Transcaucasian Democratic Federative Republic (TDFR; Закавказская демократическая Федеративная Республика (ЗКДФР); Zakavkazskaya Demokraticheskaya Federativnaya Respublika (ZKDFR); February–May 1918), also known as the Transcaucasian Federation, was a short-lived South Caucasian state extending across what are now the modern-day countries of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia.
The Transcaucasian Democratic Federative Republic was a short-lived state in the Caucasus that included most of the territory of the present-day Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, as well as parts of Russia and Turkey. The state lasted only for a month before Georgia declared independence, followed shortly after by Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) | A "Country" that Disappeared?
Nagorno-Karabakh, a region located in the South Caucasus at the center of a decades-long conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Until recently, it was also home to an unrecognized nation: the Republic of Artsakh.
Having emerged following dissolution of the Soviet Union, the First Nagorno-Karabakh War (1988-1994) saw the predominantly Armenian region - internationally recognized as a part of Azerbaijan - gain de facto independence in the mid-1990s. As that name sort of implies, this wouldn't be the last war. And, in 2020, thing did not go well for Armenia. Following a ground offensive along the line of contact, Azerbaijani forces managed to capture much of southern Nagorno-Karabakh, including Shusha (Shushi), the second-largest city in the region.

The Great Partitions - Caucasian Democratic Federative Republic
The Caucasian D. F. R., an alternative country following my lore "The Great Partitions". Warning, the names translations (specially the ones on the Northern Republics like Nogai, Chechnya, and Dagestan) are not 100% exact maybe they aren't exact at all, for the latin translation of the cyrillic, I changed each letter for its latin counterpart (For example: Дж = Dž). Next, African countries before the Weltkrieg (Part 1)

Following a ground offensive along the line of contact, Azerbaijani forces managed to capture much of southern Nagorno-Karabakh, including Shusha (Shushi), the second-largest city in the region.
In wake of the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War, Armenia lost 75% of the territory it had controlled before the war, leaving just the narrow Lachin Corridor as its only link with Artsakh.
This too was seized by Azerbaijan in 2022 and, less than a year later, Baku would launch a military offensive against the breakaway republic itself. After just one day of fighting, a ceasefire was agreed to and it soon became known the beleaguered Republic of Artsakh would cease to exist on January 1st, 2024.
In response to this dramatic turn of events, over 100,000 people fled Nagorno-Karabakh, fearing Azerbaijani rule.
This all begs the question: what is the story behind Nagorno-Karabakh?

The Caucasian D. F. R., an alternative country following my lore "The Great Partitions". Warning, the names translations (specially the ones on the Northern Republics like Nogai, Chechnya, and Dagestan) are not 100% exact maybe they aren't exact at all, for the latin translation of the cyrillic, I changed each letter for its latin counterpart (For example: Дж = Dž). Next, African countries before the Weltkrieg (Part 1)
Songs:
- "მხედრული"
-"Azərbaycan marşı"

This video is "ALTERNATIVE", which it is not mean to be taken siriously, and didn't occured in real life.
The Transcaucasian Democratic Federative Republic (TDFR; Закавказская демократическая Федеративная Республика (ЗКДФР); Zakavkazskaya Demokraticheskaya Federativnaya Respublika (ZKDFR); February–May 1918), also known as the Transcaucasian Federation, was a short-lived South Caucasian state extending across what are now the modern-day countries of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia.
