During World War II, Georgia, which was then a part of the Soviet Union, played a significant role in the war effort. The country supplied a large number of troops to the Red Army and also provided important agricultural and industrial resources to aid the Soviet war machine. Moreover, Georgia's strategic location in the Caucasus region made it an important target for Nazi Germany. In 1942, the Germans launched a major offensive in the region, which resulted in the Battle of the Caucasus. The Soviet forces, with significant Georgian units, ultimately succeeded in repelling the German advance and securing the region. Georgia also suffered greatly during the war, with its economy and infrastructure severely damaged.
