The Battle of Endirey was a significant conflict between the Russian Empire and the Chechens and Kumyks of Endirey that occured because of North Caucasian raids on Russian settlements and their refusal to pledge allegiance to Tsar Peter the Great.
Despite the rebels' initial success in resisting the Russian forces, a separate Russian detachment ultimately breached Endirey and destroyed the town.
