History
The Georgian people have deep historical origins, and they have a rich and ancient cultural tradition. A strong Georgian kingdom existed during the Middle Ages, reaching its peak between the 10th and 13th centuries. Georgia was acquired by the Russian Empire in the 19th century following a sustained period of rule by the Turks and the Persians. Between 1918 to 1921, Georgia was a separate country before being absorbed into the Soviet Union. Georgia became a constituent (union) republic in 1936 and remained one until the Soviet Union’s demise. The Georgian economy was developed and diversified throughout the Soviet era. Georgia, one of the nations most committed to independence, declared autonomy on November 19, 1989, followed by independence on April 9, 1991.
