This is a great phrase in English.  It’s very commonly used as well.

If someone does something as “a last resort” it means they did it AFTER they considered all other options first.  This action was their last and least favourite option to choose.

Some examples will help clear this up for you…

Many countries say they hate war, but they will do it only as a last resort.

That means the countries hope to find a solution without war (a peaceful solution), but if they still can’t agree on a peaceful solution, they will go to war as a last resort.

Another example is this:  Imagine a married couple who is going through some difficult times in their marriage.  They don’t really love each other any more, but they have kids together and don’t want a divorce.

They might try many things to see if they can work things out and fall in love again, but if all of their efforts still fail, they may choose to get divorced as a last resort.

I think these example should help you guys with the true meaning.  It’s a great phrase and I hope you use it.  Pay close attention to what you hear on TV and see in the news.  I’m sure you’ll start to notice this phrase more and more.
