Armenia

The Kingdom of Armenia was a key player in the Caucasian theatre of Brazilian's Varna series. Created as a Mamluk vassal state, they later gained independence and secured their position as the major power of the Caucasus.
== The Mamluk Vassal ==
After the Mamluk victory over the Turkmens of Qara Qoyunlu, the 1473 Treaty of Baghdad saw the creation of a vassal state known as the Kingdom of Armenia, which took control over the southern Caucasian lands that were previously owned by the Turkmens. The next year, when the Mamluks declared the creation of a Sixth Caliphate, Armenia aided their conquest of the Upper Nile river.
1495 saw Armenia's first expansion since creation. With Mamluk aid, Armenia marched into Georgia and most of the Azeri states. Armenia expanded again in 1504, partitioning Circassia with the Great Horde.
