Caucasus Independence: A Tale of Three Declarations

The Caucasus region holds a rich history marked by significant events. Georgia and Azerbaijan declared their independence on May 26th and 28th, 1918, respectively. However, Armenia's path to independence differed, with its declaration occurring much later, on August 24th, 1990. This difference in timing highlights the unique historical contexts and challenges faced by each nation in their pursuit of sovereignty. The contrast between the earlier declarations of Georgia and Azerbaijan and the later declaration of Armenia underscores the complexities of the region's history and the diverse paths taken towards self-determination. Understanding these nuances is key to appreciating the multifaceted nature of the Caucasus's journey to independence.
