Chechens

Chechens are a small disaffected imperial subject people of the Russian Empire. They live in a region of that empire known as Chechnya, and their dominant religion is Islam. During the Second Great War, the Chechens rose up against Russia with German support. Unlike other Central Powers-backed rebel grouns such as Finns, Poles, Ukranians, and Irish, however, they were not able to give their Entente oppressor enough trouble administering their territory to enable to Central Powers to justify extending diplomatic recognition to an independent Chechen state.
