"In the [Russian -] Caucasian War, the main role was played by (listed from east to west): Avars, Chechens, Adyghes, and Ubykhs. However, after these peoples, the Abkhazians offered the most resistance in the Caucasus in the 19th century. "

The largest uprisings in Abkhazia took place in 1821-27, 1840-45, 1861, 1866, and 1877. After suppressing these uprisings, there was a partial migration of Abkhazians to the Ottoman Empire. In NW Abkhazia, the cantons of Akhchipsy, Aibga, and Pschu resisted constantly until 1864.
Only in the year of the official end of the Caucasian War (1864), approx. 25,000 Abkhazians were forced to leave their homeland. These were mainly the Sadz, Akhchpsy, Aibga, and Pschu. The territory where they lived (from Sochi to the Bzyp River) was almost completely deserted.
After the suppression of the Abkhazian uprising in 1866, another 20,000 people emigrated. The Kodor Gorge (cantons of Tsabal and Dal) became completely deserted, where not a single Abkhazian was left!
After the suppression of the Abkhazian uprising in 1877, there were 30-40,000 Mukhadzirs (exiled). In
all of Central Abkhazia (from the Gumista River to Kodor), not a single Abkhazian village was left.

The prominent Abkhaz historian Georgy Dzidzaria, who thoroughly studied the [forced] migration of Abkhazians, estimated that about 135,000 Abkhazians and North Caucasians (Tapanta and Ashkharaoua) migrated to the Ottoman Empire in total.
