The Campaigns of Tamerlane in Central Ciscaucasia (1395–1396) were a series of invasions aimed at weakening the Golden Horde by the forces of Timur (Tamerlane), the ruler of the Timurid Empire. These campaigns involved several major battles, the destruction of key settlements, and reshaped political influence in the North Caucasus.
