The ancient history of Chechnya

The earliest record in Chechnya was before the beginning of the 7th century. The word "Chechnya" originated from the village name of "Greater Chechnya" on the argon River and gradually became the national name of Chechen people. Chechens call themselves "Nakacho people", which means "ordinary people".

Chechens were invaded by Mongols and Tatars in the13rd century, and were ravaged by Timur imperial troops in Central Asia at the end of14th century. It was not until 15 to 16 that the Golden Horde disintegrated that Chechen talents began to migrate from mountains to plains. From 16 to 19 century, Islam began to be introduced into Chechnya.

17 to 18 at the turn of the century, Chechnya began to be the object of contention among the three empires of Persia, Osman and Russia. Since then, Chechnya has experienced more than two centuries of war.

Since the Ottoman Empire invaded in the15th century, Chechen people have been constantly resisting foreign invasion in the Caucasus mountains. Since joining the Muslim camp, the tension with the Ottoman Empire has eased, but the conflict with Christians, Cossacks and Buddhists has escalated.
