The '''Russo-Persian War of 1804–1813'''{{efn|Also called the '''Russo-PersianIranian War of 1804–1813'''.{{sfn|Pourjavady|2023}}}} was one of the many wars between the [[Qajar Iran|Persian Empire]] and [[Imperial Russia]], and began like many of their wars as a territorial dispute. The new [[Persians|Persian]] king, [[Fath Ali Shah Qajar]], wanted to consolidate the northernmost reaches of his kingdom—modern-day [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]]—which had been annexed by Tsar [[Paul I of Russia|Paul I]] several years after the [[Persian Expedition of 1796|Russo-Persian War of 1796]]. Like his Persian counterpart, the Tsar [[Alexander I of Russia|Alexander I]] was also new to the throne and equally determined to control the disputed territories.
 
The war ended in 1813 with the [[Treaty of Gulistan]] which ceded the previously disputed territory of Georgia to Imperial Russia, and also the Iranian territories of [[Dagestan]], most of what is nowadays [[Azerbaijan]], and minor parts of [[Armenia]].
