The Treaty of Gulistan ended the Russo-Persian War of 1804 to 1813 and was signed in the village of Gulistan in Karabakh. Qajar Persia ceded to Russia large territories in the Caucasus, including Dagestan and most of what is now Azerbaijan, with the khanates of Karabakh, Ganja, Shirvan, Baku, Quba and Talysh, and recognized Russian claims to Georgia and neighboring western Georgian kingdoms. Russia also obtained the exclusive right to keep warships in the Caspian Sea. Persia had hoped for British support, which did not come. Persian discontent with the loss of territory led to a second war in 1826 to 1828, which ended with the Treaty of Turkmenchay and further Persian losses.
