The Great War against the Crimean Expansion spanned from the mid-16th to the late 17th century, with Circassians playing a leading role in resisting the Crimean Khanate's efforts to dominate the North Caucasus. Through joint defensive efforts and tactical alliances with Russia, Circassian forces repeatedly thwarted Crimean invasions, preserving their autonomy and securing a significant geopolitical victory against Ottoman-aligned forces.[3][4][5][6][7]
