    Azerbaijan was affected by World War I from 1914-1918 when it was part of the Russian Empire. Russian authorities did not conscript many Azerbaijanis into the army and instead imposed a military tax, reserving the army for upper class Azerbaijanis. Over 100 Azerbaijani officers served in the Russian army. The war had negative impacts on Azerbaijan's industry and agriculture and led to new uprisings against national and religious oppression. Notable Azerbaijani military figures who fought for Russia include General Aliagha Shikhlinski, General Samad bey Mehmandarov, and pilot Farrukh Agha Gaibov, who was posthumously awarded the Order of St. George.
