The Democratic Republic of Georgia 1918–1921, was the first modern establishment of a Republic of Georgia. The DRG was created after the collapse of the Russian Tsarist Empire that began with the Russian Revolution of 1917.
It's established borders were with Russia, with the Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus in the North and Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan in the South. It had a total land area of roughly 107,600 km² (by comparison, the total area of today's Georgia is 69,700 km²), and a population of 2.5 million. Today, its capital is Tbilisi and its state language Georgian. Proclaimed on May 26 1918 on the break-up of the Transcaucasian Federation, it was led by the Social Democratic Menshevik party. Facing permanent internal and external problems, the young state was unable to withstand the invasion of the Russian SFSR Red Armies, and collapsed in February–March 1921 to become a Soviet Republic. Georgia gained its independence only after the collapse of Soviet Union.
