During the Georgian Civil War in the early 1990s, several Caucasian groups took up arms against the Georgians, including:

  • Ossetian separatists
  • Abkhazian separatists
  • The Confederation of Mountain Peoples of the Caucasus, which famously consisted of Chechens but also included Abazins, Avars, Circassians, Balkars, Dargins, Karachais, Kumyks, Lezgins, and Laks (and of course Abkhazians/Ossetians).
  • Bagramyan Battalion, composed mainly of Armenians.

What factors led such a diverse range of ethnicities to align against the Georgians during this conflict?
