It took place as a result of breakdown of general law and order during the first Russian Revolution, and claimed hundreds of lives. The most violent clashes occurred in February 1905 in Baku and in August 1905 Shusha, heavily damaging both cities and the Baku oilfields. Some violence, although of lesser scale, broke out also in Tiflis, but the local Social-Democratic Party, the only force enjoying popular confidence, was able to intervene between the two communities and to prevent larger carnage in the city.
