Azerbaijan Flag
Brief History. This ancient region has been occupied by a variety of nations including the indigenous nomadic Azeris, as well as Persians, Muslims, Arabs, Turks, Mongols, and finally Russians who eventually gained the upper hand through the Treaty of Turkmenchai (1828), which gave them the northern part of the land. Persia got the southern half. Though the first republic established in 1918 was overthrown in 1920 by the Soviet Red Army, a separate Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic did come into being. During the period under Soviet domination, the country underwent industrial growth, collectivization of agriculture, and religious persecution. Azerbaijan has yet to resolve its conflict with Armenia over the Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh enclaveFlags of the World > Azerbaijan Flag
