Urgent! ! A paper on the cause, process and result of the 2008 Russia-Georgia War and its influence on the world.
Historical Issues In the history of Russia, the conquest of the whole Caucasus experienced a cruel and long war. The Soviet Union called the southern Caucasus, which was divided into Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia. The battle between Russia and Georgia in the northern Caucasus Mountains. Known as the North Caucasus, it was assigned to the Russian Federation. There are Ossetians in the north and south of Caucasus Mountain. The Soviet Union allocated North Ossetia to Russia and South Ossetia to Georgia according to the Caucasus Mountains. In this way, Ossetia was artificially divided into two, which buried hidden dangers. The separatist tendency in Georgia was very serious during the Soviet era. Although Stalin is a Georgian, he has been severely suppressed in Georgia. When the Soviet Union collapsed, Georgia was a leader. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Georgia has been very supportive of separatist forces in the North Caucasus, especially in Chechnya. Georgia has always been an important channel for Chechnya to obtain external assistance. Russia has always strongly opposed Kosovo's independence. With the support of some countries in the United States and Europe, it declared independence in early 2008, and Europe and the United States immediately recognized its independence, turning the division opposed by the United Nations into just independence. Kosovo is the cultural cradle of Slavs, but it was attacked by the United States and then occupied by the United States, bypassing the United Nations and directly supporting its independence! Independence has greatly hurt the culture and national feelings of Russia, which is also a Slavic nation. It feels like being slapped. I hate it, but I can't help reporting it. NATO's eastward expansion NATO has stepped up its expansion in recent years, which has formed a siege and threat to Russia, especially on the issue of absorbing CIS countries (the former Soviet Union joined the United States) to join NATO, which has put Russia under strong pressure! Recently, it has been reported that the United States is ready to accept Ukraine and Georgia to join NATO, and Georgia's pro-American regime is eager to join NATO and throw itself into the arms of the United States, which makes Russia unbearable! Georgia is located in the middle and west of Caspian oil market, and is rich in oil in Russia, Iran and Caspian Sea. An oil pipeline that can bypass Russia and Iraq can go directly to Europe, and Caspian oil will eventually have an important impact on the industrial world like Middle East oil today. This geostrategic feature makes Georgia the focus of attention of the United States, Europe and Russia. South Ossetia is an autonomous prefecture of Georgia. From 1989, South Ossetia requested to merge with Russia's North Ossetia. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, South Ossetia Autonomous Prefecture has been seeking independence and disobeying the jurisdiction of the Georgian central government. 1992 passed a referendum, demanding the establishment of an independent republic and its merger with North Ossetia. Therefore, the contradiction between the central government of Georgia and the local authorities in South Ossetia has deteriorated, leading to large-scale armed conflicts. For a long time, due to the close relationship between South Ossetia authorities and Russia, Georgia often accused Russia of secretly supporting South Ossetia. Russia and Georgia have been at odds on the issue of South Ossetia. The problem of the Black Sea Fleet is well known. It is the only all-weather fleet in the former Soviet navy that is not afraid of freezing siege. The main base and fleet headquarters are located in Sevastopol, Crimea, pushing the Black Sea Fleet out of the Mediterranean Sea, cutting off Russia's entrance into the Atlantic Ocean and reducing its strategic deterrent to NATO countries! 1992, an agreement was reached through talks. According to the agreement, Russia, Georgia and South Ossetia set up a Quadripartite Mixed Supervisory Committee for the settlement of the Georgia-Austria conflict, and the mixed peacekeeping force composed of Russia, Georgia and South Ossetia is responsible for carrying out peacekeeping tasks in conflict areas. For more than a decade, the South Ossetian authorities have not changed their original intention, and frictions between relevant parties in this region have also occurred from time to time. So far, the Georgian central government has only controlled part of South Ossetia. So the central government of Georgia, with the disguised support of Europe and the United States, took advantage of the world's attention to the Beijing Olympic Games to suddenly attack and storm the bombing in order to solve the problem of South Ossetia. [Edit this paragraph] Russia did not hesitate to withdraw from Georgia. Putin was tough and crisp, and immediately sent troops to attack Georgia, tanks, armored vehicles, helicopters, missiles and bombers. Georgia had no time to wait for the support of the United States and NATO European countries, so it could only beg for mercy and retreat! Russia takes this opportunity to warn the US-led NATO to use artillery shells! At the same time, it shows its powerful deterrent!
