The contents of this document are the sole responsibility of EUROCLIO and can under no circumstances be regarded as reflecting the position of the Anna Lindh Foundation” Establishing the facts of what really happened in history can sometimes be quite difficult. We saw earlier that there are different estimates of just how many Circassians migrated after 1859, and particularly after 1864. But all the sources seemed to agree that the numbers were high. We can also see from the various accounts of what happened that most observers and historians agree about the sequence of events which led up to the final defeat of the Circassians in 1864. Why is it so difficult to be precise about the numbers of Circassians who died or left their homeland after the Russian-Circassian War?
