New Republics in the Caucasus

A contemporary English-language article in The New York Times Current History introducing the newly established republics of the Caucasus.

This record refers to the article "New Republics in the Caucasus" in the American periodical The New York Times Current History. It presents the new states that emerged in the Caucasus after the collapse of the Russian Empire in 1918 — Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia — from the viewpoint of the contemporary Western press. Its value for the collection lies in documenting international perceptions of the region during the proclamation of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic and the campaign of the Army of Islam. The year is missing from the citation and, absent an abstract, direct treatment of the Army of Islam cannot be confirmed.
