Was Dagestan a country?

[GuanoApes]

Before Russia conquered the land in the early 1800's, was Dagestan its own country? Or did it belong to another country?

It was a province of Kekistan, which has since been absorbed into what is now known as Czechoslovakia.

 

[MacDuffle]

1921 founded as a Republic

Prior to that it was a general region that changed hands between Persian and Muslim rule

It gets badmouthed often by Russians who harbor anti-muslim sentiment

...occasionally Donald Cerrone accuses its citizens of islamic terrorism, because he trained on a deep south farm in the middle of an internet-devoid wasteland for a little too long

The Persian empire is older than the rise of Islam, and only adopted it as a majority religion after major warfare and historical clashes

Are you saying Persia wasn't always Muslim?

Were you home schooled? The Persian empire was around for several centuries BC. Christianity started in the first century AD and Islam several centuries later.

That region is very beautiful, the mountains views are amazing but tbh every time I saw a video or picture of everything else I found it super ugly. Makhachkala for example looks awful, from the capitals Vladikavkaz, Ossetia looks very cute.

It's one of those things they like to say to differentiate Persians from Arabs as if Persian/Iranian peoples aren't Islam fanatics
