The Russian military invaded Chechnya in 1994 because the Chechnyan government attempted to establish an independent state. This conflict arose from deep-seated historical and cultural differences between the two groups, with the Chechens seeking greater autonomy and Russia seeking to maintain control over the region. While the initial conflict ended in a ceasefire in 1996, tensions continued to simmer and erupted into a second conflict in 1999.
