A Piece of History of Diplomatic Relations between the Georgian Government – in – Exile and Washington (1921-1933)

Abstract

The article deals with the policy pursued by the Georgian government-in-exile to establish diplo­matic relations with the United States in 1921-1933, the assistance provided to the government-in-exile by members of the United States Congress and Senate, and the establishment of official diplomatic relations between the two countries. Despite the fact that Georgia was occupied and its exiled government was operating in Paris, those members of the US Congress and Senate who understood the difficulty of Georgia's situation supported it with their support - to have an official diplomatic representation in this great country of the world, which would help it more firmly oppose the Russian occupation regime.
