Following the February Revolution, Georgia found itself part of the a semi-autonomous Transcaucasian Region of Russia. Although the socialist leaders had remained loyal to the Provisional Government, pressure from the more nationalistic factions forced them to seek independence to prevent a potential civil war. Some resented the presence of Russian soldiers following the end of the Great War and a process of replacing Russian units with Georgian ones (after new ones were being trained) began in 1918 until the last one left in 1921.
