Answer 1

During World War I, Georgia, as part of the Russian Empire, initially supported the war effort and the Russian Provisional Government. However, as the Empire began to crumble, Georgia saw an opportunity for independence and declared its independence from Russia on May 26, 1918. The newly formed Democratic Republic of Georgia faced numerous challenges, including territorial disputes with neighboring nations and the invasion of the Red Army. Despite a brief period of resistance, Georgia eventually fell under Soviet control and became part of the Soviet Union in 1921.
