Georgia and the International Treaties of 1918 - 1921 Andrew Andersen

The major goal of this book is to familiarize both fellow historians and a wider audience with the international treaties that regulated the status and boundaries of the Georgian Democratic Republic throughout the period between the fall of the Russian Empire and the creation of the Soviet Union. This book also covers the most important political events, conflicts and wars that were taking place during the specified period both in Georgia as well as in the rest of the Eastern Mediterranean. It also includes brief excursions into the history and ethnography of a number of the territories which were disputed at the time of preparation and conclusion of the aforementioned treaties (some of those territories have been still disputed). This book may also serve as a key to the resolution of contemporary conflicts which threaten the stability of Georgia and the South Caucasus in general.
