The Centro-Caspian Dictatorship, also known as the Central-Caspian Dictatorship (

Baku Commune in the bloodless July 26 Baku Coup d'état of 1918,[2] and fell on 15 September 1918, when a coalition of Ottoman-Azerbaijani forces captured Baku.[3]

The Central-Caspian Dictatorship asked for British help in order to stop the advancing

Islamic Army of the Caucasus that was marching towards Baku. A small British force under General Lionel Dunsterville was sent to Baku and helped the mainly Dashnak-Armenian forces to defend the capital during the Battle of Baku. However, the Azerbaijani-Ottoman army took Baku over on 15 September 1918, which entered the capital, subsequently causing British forces to evacuate and much of the Armenian population to flee. After the Ottoman Empire signed the Armistice of Mudros on 30 October 1918, a British
occupational force re-entered Baku.
