The Georgian-Abkhaz Conflict is a territorial dispute between Georgia and the Abkhazia region, which declared independence in the early 1990s following the collapse of the Soviet Union. The conflict escalated into a war from 1992 to 1993, resulting in significant casualties and the displacement of thousands of people. After the war, Abkhazia has been governed as a de facto independent state, although it is recognized by only a few countries, including Russia. The situation remains tense, with ongoing political and military tensions between Georgia and the separatist authorities in Abkhazia.
