Attitude of the United States of America to Georgia on the Beginning of the 20th C. and in the 1990-92-ies

The government of the Republic of Georgia as far back as 1918-1921 made an attempt to establish diplomatic relations with the USA, but all the attempts had failed. That was a result of disapproval of the USA to the question of the Georgian independence.

After wards the USA changed its position and in the 25th of April on 1929 the Georgian people's rights for independence were confirmed according to the bill approved by Senate. Though the adoption of this decision was too late, as in 1921 the Bolshevik annexation put off for about 70 years the declaration of independence of our country. In spite of this fact the above mentioned bill influenced greatly to the future relations between Georgia and the USA. This became possible after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, when Georgia became an independent State and there appeared the opportunity to establish the diplomatic relations with different countries including the USA. It had a great importance for the international recognition of Georgia.
