The **Armenia-Nakhchiva War** was a military conflict that took place between the countries of Armenia and Nakhchiva from 2063 to 2067. The war was sparked by Armenia's attempt to annex Nakhchiva, a small, landlocked country located in the Caucasus region of Eurasia. The conflict began in 2063, when Armenia launched a surprise invasion of Nakhchiva, quickly capturing several key cities and strategic locations. Nakhchiva, which had a much smaller and less well-equipped military, was caught off guard by the attack and was initially unable to mount a effective resistance, over the next few years, the war raged on, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. Armenia had the advantage of superior numbers and equipment, but Nakhchiva was able to hold its own thanks to a combination of guerrilla tactics and support from neighbouring countries. In 2066, the tide of the war began to turn in favour of Nakhchiva, as it received significant military aid from Russia and other countries in the region. This help, combined with the growing fatigue of the Armenian army, allowed Nakhchiva to push back against the invading forces and reclaim much of the territory it had lost. By 2067, the war had reached a stalemate, with both sides suffering heavy losses and neither able to gain the upper hand. In an effort to end the conflict, the two sides agreed to a ceasefire and began peace negotiations. Ultimately, the peace talks were successful, and a treaty was signed in 2068, formally ending the Armenia-Nakhchiva War. Under the terms of the treaty, Armenia withdrew its troops from Nakhchiva and recognized the country's sovereignty.

The war had a significant impact on both countries, with thousands of people killed and entire cities left in ruins. It also had broader implications, as it strained relations between Armenia and other countries in the region and heightened tensions between different ethnic and religious groups. Despite the eventual peace, the legacy of the Armenia-Nakhchiva War continues to be felt to this day. The Armenia-Nakhchiva War had its roots in long-standing tensions between the two countries, which had a history of border disputes and conflicting territorial claims. In the years leading up to the war, Armenia had grown increasingly aggressive in its foreign policy, annexing territory from neighbouring countries and building up its military. Nakhchiva, on the other hand, was a small, weak nation with limited resources and little ability to defend itself against Armenia's aggression. In an effort to deter a potential invasion, Nakhchiva sought assistance from other countries in the region, including Russia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan. Despite these efforts, Armenia was undeterred, and in 2063 it launched its surprise invasion of Nakhchiva. The Armenian military quickly made significant gains, capturing key cities and infrastructure, and it appeared that the war would be over quickly. The peace talks were long and difficult, as the two sides had to address a wide range of issues, including reparations, territorial disputes, and the fate of prisoners of war. However, eventually, a treaty was signed in 2068, formally ending the Armenia-Nakhchiva War. Under the terms of the treaty, Armenia withdrew its troops from Nakhchiva and recognized the country's sovereignty. It also agreed to pay reparations to Nakhchiva and cede control of certain disputed territories.

The war had a significant impact on both countries, with thousands of people killed and entire cities left in ruins. It also had broader implications, as it strained relations between Armenia and other countries in the region and heightened tensions between different ethnic and religious groups. Despite the eventual peace, the legacy of the Armenia-Nakhchiva War continued to be impactful between the peace building efforts between both nations as they increasingly isolated themselves from cooperation amongst the international community. In the aftermath of the Armenia-Nakhchiva War, both countries faced the task of rebuilding and recovering from the devastation of the conflict. Nakhchiva, which had been occupied by Armenian forces for much of the war, had to repair and rebuild infrastructure, schools, hospitals, and other facilities that had been damaged or destroyed. The country also had to deal with the aftermath of mass displacement, as thousands of people had fled their homes during the conflict and were now returning. In addition, Nakhchiva had to address the issue of prisoners of war and missing persons, as many families had lost loved ones during the conflict and were seeking answers. Armenia, on the other hand, had to deal with the aftermath of its failed invasion and the loss of soldiers and resources. The country faced international condemnation for its aggression, and relations with other countries in the region were strained.
