The breakaway territory of Georgia saw immense conflict back in 2008. While Georgia attained its independence after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, pro-Russian groups in South Ossetia and Abkhazia declared their independence from Georgia. This led to government troops entering both regions to restore order. It also led to a Russian invasion, which saw five days of war between Russian and Georgian forces. While an uneasy peace was secured, Russia continues to occupy both regions in the name of protecting its ethnic citizens.
