The Second Nagorno-Karabakh War saw Azerbaijan and Armenia engage in a violent conflict over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. Tensions had been escalating for years due to unresolved territorial claims and ethnic divisions in the region. The war was marked by intense fighting, with both sides suffering significant casualties and widespread destruction.
The impact of the war was profound, resulting in the displacement of thousands of people and exacerbating existing humanitarian crises in the region. The conflict also drew in regional and international powers, further complicating efforts to find a peaceful resolution.
The war finally ended with a ceasefire agreement brokered by Russia, which saw Azerbaijan reclaiming significant portions of territory previously held by Armenian forces. The conflict highlighted the deep-seated animosities and complex geopolitical dynamics at play in the region.
