Second Battle of the Caucasus (Russo-Islamic World War III)

The Second Battle of the Caucasus, known in Russia as the Caucasus Offensive (Russian: Кавказское Hаступление) and in the Holy Caliphate as the Holy Defensive Operation (Turkish: كـوطصاـی سـاغومـا وتاراصوڭیـو) was the joint Russian and Armenian offensives into Georgia, Azerbaijan and eastern Turkey against Caliphate forces.

Although the Caliphate was victorious in the first battle of the Caucasus, like in past wars, their victory and hold of the Caucasus and southern Russia did not last long. Russian Orthodox leaders in southern Russia refused peace offers by the sultans of Turkey, Azerbaijan and Arabia, the Caliphate had to deal with vicious Russian militant attacks.

In addition, in Dagestan, civil war ran amok, those who favored remaining part of Russia battled the Caliphate-established Sultanate of Dagestan led by Salim Tamirov, a former Russian soldier captured by Caliphate forces.

After the Caliphate lost in the bloody Battle of Grozny, and failed to take Sochi, the Caliphate was forced to fight on the defensive, with the Caliphate being quickly depleted off of their supplies, Baku had suffered Russian aerial attacks on its oil fields, setting them ablaze and practically useless.

Turkey's Arabian and Pakistan allies could no longer send aid, since they were undergoing attacks by Russia's allies in Iran and India respectively. This left Turkey, Azerbaijan and whatever Arabian and Pakistani forces remained in the Caucasus.

The Sultan of Pakistan signed a peace treaty with Russia, accepting the position of surrender.

In Georgia, Russian forces met with Anton Kereselidze's rebel forces, who saw the Georgian government and Georgian Orthodox leaders siding with the Caliphate as an act of betrayal. Anton Kereselidze joined the ranks of the Russian military, and soon battled against the Georgian government forces.

With Russian control of Georgia consolidated, Russia, Georgia and Armenia conducted merciless offensives into Azerbaijan, while Russian forces were making their push into Turkey from the north, after the Caliphate suffered a major loss during the Battle of the Black Sea.

After the Russian occupation of Azerbaijan, President Mikhail Budayev ordered the contrevoursial "War Plan Purity", in which, he expelled the Azerbaijani population, and replaced them with Russians and shutting down mosques, and giving them non-religious uses. Azerbaijan was renamed the Caucasus Republic.

In addition, the Council of Russian Muslims, was formed Musin Kadzharov, the Head of Chechnya, to moniter and surveil Muslim citizens in Russia for any "hostile activities".
