The Russian-Manchu border conflicts (Russian: маньчжуро-русские пограничные стычки) were a series of intermittent skirmishes between the Manchus and the Cossacks for the control of the course of the Amur River. The hostilities culminated in the Manchu storm of the Cossack fort of Albazin (1685) and resulted in the Treaty of Nerchinsk, concluded between the Russian Empire and the Qing Empire in 1689.
