>Treaty of Georgievsk (1783)Key Points of the Treaty:
Russia recognized the Bagrationi dynasty and promised to protect Georgia’s territory and sovereignty.
Georgia was to align itself with Russia diplomatically and militarily.
Russia would station troops in Georgia and help in the case of foreign invasion.
In 1795, Persia (led by Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar) invaded Georgia and sacked Tbilisi, killing thousands.
Despite the treaty, Russia did not send help, citing internal and geopolitical reasons (e.g., Catherine the Great focusing on other wars).
In 1801, Russia formally annexed Kartli-Kakheti, abolishing the Georgian monarchy.
