The factual accuracy of this map or the file name is disputed.

Reason: Packed with fallacies. For a start; Daghestan, Central-Eastern Georgia, Circassia, Armenia, and the present-day Azerbaijan Republic were not under Ottoman control. It seems the creator of the map has completely misintepreted and misunderstood this source. Even though this historic map only states that the areas shaded in violet in the Caucasus were "gained" by the Russians during the reign of Tsar Alexander II (à l'avenèment d'Alexandre II, 1855, see legend), the uploader of this Commons map went ahead to label all of it as "originally Ottoman possessions". Many of the areas in the Caucasus shaded in violet on the historic map were taken by the Russians from Iran (Central-Eastern Georgia, Armenia, Daghestan, Azerbaijan Republic), not from the Ottomans. Circassia and Kabarda were independent areas, i.e. they were never "part" of the Ottoman Empire; they came under Russian jurisdiction, which the Ottomans just were forced to recognize. In short: most areas in the Caucasus on this Commons map, are erroneously shaded.

Note: This template is only supposed to be used if the SVG file mixes vector and raster graphics. If the SVG file only contains raster graphics {{FakeSVG}} is supposed to be used. See also {{TopoSVG}}.

DescriptionTreaty of Küçük Kaynarca.svg	English: Russian Empire Ottoman Empire Annexations to the Russian Empire Crimean Khanate at independence The Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca (1774): the Ottoman Empire (green) ceded some land (red-green stripe) to the Russian Empire (red) on both on both the European and Asiatic fronts. In addition, the Crimean Khanate (yellow-green stripe) was granted independence, although in reality it became a Russian satellite state and was annexed by Russia in 1783.
