Georgia attacked South Ossetia in 2008 primarily to regain control over the separatist region, which had declared independence with Russian support after the early 1990s conflicts following the Soviet Union's collapse. The Georgian government sought to assert its territorial integrity and restore order, believing that a decisive military action could reinstate authority over the area.
