In February–March 1921 the Red Army occupies Georgia; the Georgian SSR is proclaimed.

1921

In February 1921 the Red Army invaded Georgia; on 25 February Tbilisi fell and the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic was proclaimed.

The government of the Democratic Republic went into exile; the country's independence, contrary to the 1920 Treaty of Moscow, was abolished.

Georgia became part of the USSR for almost 70 years; resistance to Sovietisation erupted in the 1924 uprising.
