What's with the russian and the georgia war thinggi ..?

Question

I Want to know he full story..

Answer 1

Most full a conflict between Russia and Georgia on territory of South Ossetia  on the present moment is described (from positions of western countries and Russia) in Russian Wikipedia - article: Война в Южной Осетии (2008) - Википедия. Information in the article renew daily. In the English version of the article: 2008 South Ossetia war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, information, unfortunately, much more short.

Answer 2

Georgians and Russians have been fighting and thinking they are different people for hundreds of years. Altho they really are just one people.

In the 1990's Georgia got independence but there were two provinces that still wanted to be part of Russia. This is were the problem arose.The dispute was over their wanting to rejoin Russia. Georgia sent in the army and Russia did the same. That's were it's up to.

Answer 3

Well its actually a really complicated subject that I dont even really get. Basically Georgia is an ex-Soviet country and after the fallof the S.Union it became an independent nation. The Caucasus which is a very disputed region is full of different ethnic groups and there is a small region called Ossetia which is almost like a no mans land although it legall belongs to Georgia I believe. There are peace keeping troops in that region. Now there have been conflicts before but it was sparked again because the president of Georgia who is known as a hothead commanded military advancements to be made in Ossetia. He believed he would be backed by the West (USA, UK, rest of Europe) when in fact they couldnt intervene because of other twisted political issues. Thus Russia mobilised its full force and led an invasion of Georgia. Initially only planning on regaining the Ossetia region it ended up in Putin (Prime Minister of Russia) commanding and declaring war on Georgia. Not only to regain territory but also cause of the oil supplies. So to make it short Georgia and Russia went to war because of territory disagreements. That is the simplest way to put it.
