The Bakhchisarai campaign or Crimean-Circassian War of 1535-1536 was a military conflict between the Crimean Khanate and the Kabardian Principality.[1]
War between Kabarda and the Crimean Khanate
[edit]Background of the Conflict
[edit]The war between the Kabardians and the Crimean Khanate arose against the backdrop of the historical struggle of the Circassian peoples for their independence and the opposition to the Crimean Tatars, who, as heirs of the Golden Horde, sought to assert their influence over the North Caucasus.[2] The Crimean Khanate, established in the 15th century, became one of the most powerful neighbors of Circassian states such as Kabarda. For several centuries, Circassian principalities resisted the political claims of the Crimean Khanate, which resulted in regular military conflicts.[3]
Military Engagements
[edit]In the 16th century, when the Crimean Khanate became part of the political system of the Ottoman Empire, its military power significantly increased, creating new challenges for Kabarda. The Crimean Gireys, supported by the Ottoman Empire, attempted to suppress any uprisings and establish control over the Circassian lands. In response, the Kabardians organized various military expeditions to defend their independence.[4]
- Circassian raids on Crimea: Kabarda conducted regular raids into the territories of the Crimean Khanate, which provoked countermeasures from the Tatars.[5]
- Defensive actions of Crimea: The Crimean Khanate attempted to strengthen its positions by building fortresses and strongholds along the border with Kabarda.[6]
- Bakhchisarai Campaign (1535-1536): The most notable episode of the conflict was the Bakhchisarai Campaign organized by the Kabardians under the leadership of Talostan Dzhanhotov. This was an attempt to carry out a deep invasion into the heart of the Crimean Khanate, ultimately leading to the siege of Bakhchisarai and the acquisition of a substantial ransom.[7]
Outcomes of the War
[edit]The war between Kabarda and the Crimean Khanate resulted in changes to the political landscape of the region. Despite temporary successes by the Kabardians, the Crimean Khanate ultimately strengthened its position with the support of the Ottoman Empire.[8]<param> However, conflicts continued, and Kabarda remained an important player in the political arena of the North Caucasus, maintaining its independence for many years. As a result, relations between the Kabardians and the Crimean Tatars remained tense throughout the 16th and 17th centuries.[9]
