The Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic (Հայկական Սովետական
Սոցիալիստական Հանրապետություն) was founded on 2nd December 1920 from the Democratic Republic Of Armenia (Հայաստանի Առաջին Հանրապետութիւն) and became a part of the Transcaucasian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic (Անդրկովկասի Սովետական Սոցիալիստական Ֆեդերատիվ Հանրապետություն) on 12th March 1922. The TSFSR itself became a founding republic of the Union Of Soviet Socialist Republics (Խորհրդային Սոցիալիստական Հանրապետությունների Միություն) on its creation on 30th December 1922. On 5th December 1936 the TSFSR ceased to exist and the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic became a Soviet Republic in its own right.
Yerevan (Երևան) was the capital of the Armenian SSR and was highly industrialised during the Soviet period and was remote enough not to suffer at the hands of invaders during the Great Patriotic War. Even though the Armenian SSR was not physically invaded their contribution to the war effort was very noticeable with Armenians holding ranks in the Red Army from bottom to top.

The Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic was renamed the Republic Of Armenia (Հայաստանի Հանրապետություն) on 23rd August 1990 and declared independence from the Soviet Union on 21st September 1991. The constitution of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic remained in place until 5th July 1995.
