The most important Georgian battles (wars and battles) within three millennia are presented here in chronological order in a brief overview. The period covers the span from the first half of the 2nd millennium BC to the 13th century AD. It covers conflicts with other states and peoples, defence battles and campaigns of conquest as well as internal political disputes, conspiracies of the high nobility against the king, popular uprisings and social uprisings, disputes over the throne and power struggles, but also bloodless solutions to conflicts, in which diplomatic skill was used to avoid heavy fighting, or duels between kings, through which they spared their armies.
