Title
Entrepreneurial policy of the German mining companies and its impact on the Georgian economy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries
Abstract
The interest of leading representatives of German monopolistic and financial capital both before and after World War I was related to Georgia. The German iron and steel manufacturers, as well as the heads of the firms employed in other fields, were attracted by the fossil wealth of this area. In this regard, it is very important to analyze their activities, in particular, how their interests were intersect in the Caucasus and how significantly they influenced on the German state policy towards Georgia.
