Wars and Conflicts of Georgia

Georgia suffered under Soviet rule from the early 1920s to the declaration of independence in April of 1991. Even before independence, Georgia engaged in conflict, as the Georgian region of South Ossetia engaged in a breakaway war, which has flared up over the past two decades. Several Civil Wars and Army rebellions have plagued Georgia since 1989 (While still a part of the Soviet Union). In August, 2008, the South Ossetia issue again flared into warfare, though this time, Georgia’s old ruler, Russia, intervened and the war is now (as of August 9, 2008) escalating rapidly.
