Transcaucasian Democratic Federative Republic

In 1828, Persian Armenia was annexed to the Russian Empire after the last Russian-Persian War, and became known as Russian Armenia. When the Russian empire collapsed, Russian Armenia declared its independence and joined short-lived Transcaucasian Democratic Federative Republic, along with Georgia and Azerbaijan. This unified state was barely enough, and was soon dissolved. Since the Republic was short-lived, he did not use any flags and symbols. Nevertheless, some historians believe, the horizontal gold, black, red tricolor, similar to the German flag, but there are different ways, were flag Transcaucasia. The Federation was dissolved on May 26, 1918, when Georgia declared its independence of the Democratic Republic of Georgia. Armenia and Azerbaijan declared its independence two days later, on May 28, 1918, and in the Democratic Republic of Armenia (DRA) and the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (ADR), respectively.
