Georgia was first mentioned in history as a kingdom of Colchis in 13 century BC and since then Georgia has fought for its freedom. Many conquerors such as Turkey, Iran, Mongolia and Russia have tried to conquer Georgia but none of them succeeded in the end.
Georgia was first unified under the Bagrationi Dynasty in 8th century. Georgia is also one of the first countries in the world to have a female leader, King Tamar. In reign on King Tamar Georgia has flourished astonishingly, period of her reign is even referred to as the Golden Age of Georgia. King Tamar strictly and specifically demanded to be called the King and not Queen as she believed she was no lesser than a king.
Georgia has always had strong defence mechanisms around the country, as it has always had threats of invaders and conquerors from all side. Some of those defence mechanismს can be seen today, such as Svaneti Towers and Wall of Sighnaghi in Kakheti.
