The territorial struggle between the "Circassians", which is accepted as the general name of the peoples living in the North Caucasus such as Adyge, Abkhaz, Chechen, Ingush, and Tsarist Russia, can be based on the capture of the Kazan Khanate in 1552 and the Astrakhan Khanate in 1556 by the Russians. We can state that the struggle between the Russians and the Circassians is a 300-year struggle from the 1550s to the end of the 1864 Caucasian-Russian war. The purpose of writing this article is the political and military pressures that Circassians faced within the framework of the freedom and land struggle against the Russians between 1550 and 1864, and the bad conditions they experienced on the way to and on the way to the Ottoman lands as a result of these pressures, and against assimilation to protect their culture after resettlement. It will examine the measures they have taken with descriptive methods within the framework of the concepts of forced migration, exile, and genocide, and as a result of the findings, an evaluation will be made about whether it is forced migration, genocide, or exile.
