Georgian Front (22nd Century and On)

The Georgian Front (Georgian: ქართული ფრონტი, Russian: Грузинский, Turkish: Gürcü Cephesi) was the fighting that took place in Georgia in the Caucasus.

Georgia was the first country that Turkey invaded en route to their invasion of Russia via the Caucuses. The Georgian forces were heavily disadvantaged, numerically and technologically, and were therefore beaten by the invading Turks.

With the Fall of Tbilisi to the Turkish forces, the belluigered Georgian forces retreated north. As the Turkish forces conquered Tbilisi, the Georgian government made plans for an exile into Russia, where they had made a deal to cede Akhbazia and South Ossetia in order for protection.

The Georgian Government-in-Exile therefore fled into Russia as the Turks drove Georgian forces out of Tbilisi.

As the Russian forces later pushed the Turkish invasion back, Georgia exited NATO, stating extreme distrust, and renewed its damaged relations with Russia, favoring entering the Russian sphere of influence, to which it did, along with Armenia.
