Ganja, Battle of

Years: 1804 - 1804

The siege of Ganja and storming its citadel is the result of a Russian offensive in the South Caucasus intended to conquer the Ganja Khanate, which contributes to the escalation of the Russo-Persian War (1804–1813).

"Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe... Yet, clumsily or smoothly, the world, it seems, progresses and will progress."

― H.G. Wells, The Outline of History, Vol 2 (1920)
