The Abkhaz War was a conflict that took place from 1992 to 1993 in the region of Abkhazia, which is located in the northwest of Georgia. The war erupted after the collapse of the Soviet Union, as ethnic tensions between the Abkhaz people and the Georgian government intensified. The Abkhaz sought independence, leading to armed clashes and significant violence. The war resulted in a decisive victory for the Abkhaz forces, who declared independence from Georgia in 1993. This conflict caused a large-scale displacement of ethnic Georgians from Abkhazia and left the region in a state of political and economic instability. The situation remains unresolved, with Abkhazia recognized by only a few countries as an independent state.
