Armenia
From the 9th century BC to the 6th century BC, the Uraltu Kingdom established slavery within the territory of Armenia. From the 6th to the 3rd century BC, the Achaemenid and Seleucid dynasties ruled Armenia and established the Great Armenian State. Since then, Asia has been divided twice by Türkiye and Iran. From 1804 to 1828, two wars between Russia and Iran ended in Iran's failure, and East Asia, formerly occupied by Iran, was merged into Tsarist Russia. On May 28, 1918, the Dashnak Chujon Party led the establishment of the First Republic of Armenia. On January 29, 1920, the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic was established. In March 1922, Asia joined the Transcaucasian Soviet Socialist Federal Republic and joined the Soviet Union as a member state on December 30 of the same year. On December 5, 1936, the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic was converted into a direct Soviet Union and became one of its affiliated republics. On August 23, 1990, the Supreme Soviet of Armenia passed the Declaration of Independence and renamed the country "Republic of Armenia". On September 21, 1991, Armenia held a referendum and officially declared independence.
