Draft:Armenian Georgian war

The Armenian-Georgian War of 1918 was a brief conflict between the newly established First Republic of Armenia and the Democratic Republic of Georgia. The main points of contention were the territories of Lori, Javakheti, and Borchalo.

The conflict arose due to border disputes and ethnic tensions in the region. Both nations sought to assert control over certain territories, leading to military clashes. The British intervened to mediate the conflict, and a ceasefire was established. Subsequently, the British, as part of their effort to stabilize the region, drew the borders in favor of Georgia.

The Treaty of Batum, signed in June 1919, formalized the end of hostilities. It recognized Georgia's control over disputed territories, and Armenia ceded Lori and Akhalkalaki to Georgia. The British-drawn borders contributed to shaping the territorial boundaries between Armenia and Georgia during that period.
