<P> Georgia celebrates Mother's Day on 3 March . It was declared by the first President of Georgia Zviad Gamsakhurdia in order to replace the International Women Day, and it was officially approved by the Supreme Council in 1991 . Nowadays Georgia celebrates both Mother's Day on 3 March and International Women's Day on 8 March . </P> <P> In the 1920s, Germany had the lowest birthrate in Europe, and the declining trend was continuing . This was attributed to women's participation in the labor market . At the same time, influential groups in society (politicians of left and right, churchwomen, and feminists) believed that mothers should be honored but could not agree on how to do so . However, all groups strongly agreed on the promotion of the values of motherhood . In 1923, this resulted in the unanimous adoption of Muttertag, the Mother's Day holiday as imported from America and Norway . The head of the Association of German Florists cited "the inner conflict of our Volk and the loosening of the family" as his reason for introducing the holiday . He expected that the holiday would unite the divided country . In 1925, the Mother's Day Committee joined the task force for the recovery of the volk, and the holiday stopped depending on commercial interests and began emphasizing the need to increase the population in Germany by promoting motherhood . </P> <P> The holiday was then seen as a means to encourage women to bear more children, which nationalists saw as a way to rejuvenate the nation . The holiday did not celebrate individual women, but an idealized standard of motherhood . The progressive forces resisted the implementation of the holiday because it was backed by so many conservatives, and because they saw it as a way to eliminate the rights of working women . Die Frau, the newspaper of the Federation of German Women's Associations, refused to recognize the holiday . Many local authorities adopted their own interpretation of the holiday: it would be a day to support economically larger families or single - mother families . The guidelines for the subsidies had eugenics criteria, but there is no indication that social workers ever implemented them in practice, and subsidies were given preferentially to families in economic need rather than to families with more children or "healthier" children . </P> <P> With the Nazi party in power during 1933--1945, the situation changed radically . The promotion of Mother's Day increased in many European countries, including the UK and France . From the position of the German Nazi government, the role of mothers was to give healthy children to the German nation . The Nazi party's intention was to create a pure "Aryan race" according to nazi eugenics . Among other Mother's Day ideas, the government promoted the death of a mother's sons in battle as the highest embodiment of patriotic motherhood . </P>
