On the Meiji Japan and post-Soviet Russia map as “Nagorno-Karabakh”
Feb 1988–May 1994 — The Armenian-majority region votes to leave Azerbaijan for Armenia; pogroms, expulsions and open war follow. Between about 20,000 and 38,000 people die and more than a million are displaced before a 1994 ceasefire leaves Armenian forces holding the region and seven districts around it.
