First Chechen War



The First Chechen War (Russian: первая чеченская война) was fought between Russia and Chechnya from 1994 to 1996 and resulted in Chechnya's de facto independence from Russia. Russian forces attempted to control the mountainous area of Chechnya but were set back by Chechen guerrilla raids, in spite of Russia's overwhelming manpower, weaponry, and air support.
