| has gloss | eng: The Georgian coup in May 1920 was an unsuccessful coup d'etat staged by the Bolsheviks in the Democratic Republic of Georgia. Relying on the 11th Red Army of Soviet Russia operating in neighboring Azerbaijan, the Bolsheviks attempted to seize control of a military school and government offices in the Georgian capital Tiflis on May 3. The Georgian government suppressed the disorders in Tiflis and concentrated forces on successfully blocking the advance of the Russian troops on the Azerbaijani-Georgian border. The Georgian resistance combined with an uneasy war with Poland persuaded the Soviet leadership to deter their plans for Georgia’s sovietization and recognize Georgia as an independent nation in the May 7 treaty of Moscow.
