Caucasian Front (WWI)

Caucasian Front (WWI)

The Caucasus Front (Russian: Кавказский фронт) was the name given the Russian military activities on Caucasus Campaign and Persian Campaign. The Russian military history consider Caucasus Campaign and Persian Campaign as a separate theater of the Great War, which both these theaters were under the control of First Illarion Vorontsov-Dashkov and then Nikolai Yudenich.

Western sources tend to ignore Caucasus Front as from the Allies perspective the campaign were performed by different expeditionary forces during the Middle Eastern theatre of World War I. This perspective is also conserved from Ottoman Empire military activities, as the 3rd Army and 2nd Army engaged on Caucasus Campaign and 12 th Army on the Persian Campaign.
