The Dagestan Campaign (Turkish: Dağıstan Seferi) was a battle between the Ottoman Empire and Russia that happened right after the Battle of Baku during World War I. After the victory in Baku, Ottoman soldiers occupied the Dagestani cities of Derbent and Port-Petrovsk. However, the Ottoman Empire was defeated and the territories were seized by the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic.
