The Circassian-Kumyk Wars was a prolonged political and military conflict during the late 16th to early 18th centuries, centered on the struggle for hegemony in the North-Eastern Caucasus. Circassian princes frequently outmaneuvered Kumyk feudal lords through strategic alliances with Russia and superior diplomacy.[1]
