Bolshevik occupation of Baku.

The March Massacre or March events is the name given to the massacre of ethnic Azerbaijanis in late March - early April 1918 by Bolshevik and Dashnak forces. According to various sources between 3,000 and 3,500 Muslims were massacred. Less than six months later, in September 1918, the Ottoman "Army of Islam" led by Enver Pasha and supported by local Azeri forces recaptured Baku. This time an estimated 10,000 Armenians were massacred.
