    The Chechen Republic is an autonomous region of Russia located in Asia with a population of over 1.3 million people who are mostly Muslim. Chechens have struggled for independence from Russia for centuries, with major conflicts occurring in the 19th century, during World War 2 when Stalin deported hundreds of thousands of Chechens, and two wars in the 1990s and 2000s after the fall of the Soviet Union. While now rebuilding with Russian support, the issue of Chechen independence remains unresolved.
