Nagorno-Karabakh is a small mountain region with a history far larger than its size. In this episode, we explore how decades of nationalism, unresolved borders, and shifting power in the South Caucasus turned a frozen conflict into one of the clearest examples of modern warfare.

From Soviet-era borders and the first Nagorno-Karabakh war, to Azerbaijan’s use of drones in 2020 and the dramatic collapse of Armenian control in 2023, this story reveals how technology, geography, and national identity reshaped the Caucasus. It is not only a regional conflict — it is a warning about how modern wars are fought, how alliances can weaken, and how old historical wounds can return with new weapons.
