Why didn't Ukraine get Independence after World War 1? 

The billions sent by the U.S. + the $$$ sent by other countries isn't enough? Oh, that's right - I guess they need more, after Ukraine's "elite" are packing the cash off as they leave Ukraine.

Finally you reveled who you really are. UNSCRIBE. Z 🇷🇺. STOP HISTORICAL REVISIONISM OF NAZI. M

Can we get a series on the Russian Civil War?

Hey guys, for project Ukraine, will there be any history on Bandera or the neo-nazi element? I bet that will get left out.

Lenin was sent to Russia by Germany to oust the tsar and destroy Russia so it can no longer fight on the eastern front

I think that the Bolsheviks re-occupied Ukraine because of the loss of Germany and Austria in the war, and therefore there was no longer any other party to the treaty, that the vacuum they exploited.

You think this guy knows history?

Actually Galicia (western Ukraine) had a majority Ukrainian population in 1918, so it wasn't a gift. As for Crimea and Novorussia the question is why were they given to Ukraine in the first place?

On 19 February 1954, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR issued a decree on the transfer of the Crimean region of the RSFSR to the Ukrainian SSR. This Supreme Soviet Decree states that this transfer was motivated by "the commonality of the economy, the proximity, and close economic and cultural relations between the Crimean region and the Ukrainian SSR".

gift but not for free ... it was compensation for holomodor because stalin killed over 7 m ukrainains back then ... we have way more population than spain / and bigger than france back them ...

@@dragosstanciu9866 the so-called "Novorossia" was created only after the abolishment of the autonomy of the Hetmanate in 1764, the destruction of the Zaporižžian Sič in 1775, and the annexation of the Crimean Khanate's lands in 1783 by the Russian Empire. before that, it was part of either Ukrainian Cossack entities or the Crimean entities. the territories were sparsely populated. the territories of the Sič were inhabited by Ukrainians, while the territories under Crimean control were populated by Crimeans and Nogais, as well as to a smaller extent Ukrainians, and to an even smaller extent Romanians (Moldovans). the relations between the Ukrainian Cossacks and the Crimeans during that time were better than their usual depiction as "always hostile" (however they were not easy either). for example, according to the treaty of Bakhchisaray (1681), Zaporižžian Sič territory was nominally independent, and Ukrainians could continue settling and building their fortresses there. Zaporižžian Cossacks had rights to free navigation across the Dnipro river. also, the Oleškivśka Sič, one of the historical Zaporižžian Sičes, existed from 1711 to 1728 on the Crimean Khanate's territory, near the modern-day town of Olešky. after the Novorossia Governorate was created, the region was settled by different people, but still primarily Ukrainians. for example, in 1851, Ukrainians comprised 70% of the population of the Kherson Governorate, Romanians (Moldovans) 7%, and Russians only 3%. there are different statistics for different governorates (Yekaterinoslav, Taurida, Kherson) existing in that territory in different periods, which you can check by yourself. number of Russians grew with time, but Ukrainians still remained a majority in all of them. the Ukrainian history in the region is thus much older than Russia tries to show.

@@dragosstanciu9866 lviv didnt any parts also didnt have a ukrainian majority. It was pretty much 50/50 between the poles and the ukrainians. Ukrainians weren't majority in any city, only in villages.

Lithuania never "collaborated" with the soviets. It was only the coexistence after the Treaty of Peace signed on 12th of July, 1920. This treaty (and similar treaties of Finland, Estonia and Latvia) was signed with the support and approbation of Allies.

​@@arturasandriusaitis8832 In July 1920, the Lithuanians crossed the Foch line designated as a form of compromise between Lithuania-Poland-Entente, they captured Trakai, seriously hindering the Polish troops retreat to the west against the Soviet offensive. As part of the July treaty, there was a clause allowing the Soviets to pass through Lithuanian territory during battles with Poland, and did not intern them when they withdrew after the Battle of Warsaw. It's hard to call it non-cooperation, as Alfred Senn put it well, saying that although there was no written alliance, Lithuanians were definitely not neutral.

@@kacperq1987 "As part of the July treaty, there was a clause allowing the Soviets to pass through Lithuanian territory during battles with Poland" This part of Lithuanian territory was previously occupied by Poland (must to be returned by the soviets according the Peace Treaty). It wasn't controlled by the Lithuanian Army. Lithuania couldn't prevent the soviet move there. What you write here is the well known Polish propaganda. The Foch line was the provisional line of 1919. Polish affected the Curzon line in 1920, when went to occupy Lithuanian capital Vilnius.

@@arturasandriusaitis8832 The conclusion of this provision as part of the agreement in no way limited the Soviet ability to move only to areas that were previously held by Polish troops. It was a direct action in favor of the Soviets, and if you follow the movement of Lithuanian and Soviet troops, you can see that they operate in parallel. Let me quote once again Trakai, the occupation of which by the Lithuanians (violating the The Foch line) made it difficult for the Polish forces to act, directly supporting the Soviets. Almost the entire territory defined as on the Lithuanian side of the Foch linewas under Lithuanian control in June 1920. The Lithuanians did not intern the Soviet army, which entered their territory, escaping in August and September 1920 (which was required by international law). However, it was in line with the provisions of the July peace agreement, which I wrote about earlier. The Foch line was practically the same value as the Curzon line and both Lithuanians and Poles crossed it when they saw such needs. This does not change the fact that in 1920 Lithuanian actions directly benefited the Soviets, possibly leading with them limited, but nonetheless, cooperation in the matter of rejecting Poles to the West. These are facts, not propaganda.

That’s not entirely true, Moldova was a identity and state as far back as the times of Micheal The Brave (beast) and John Hunyadi, Vlad The Impaler etc and beyond ...

@@cjclark1208 Thats a understandable missinterpretation. Although Moldova as a medieval state did exist, people there viewed themselves as romanians thats is backed by western travelers from the 16th century that did visit the country and reported people calling themselves "romans". The same goes for Wallachia and Transylvania. As in Moldova people there didnt view themselves as separate people from the other 2 romanian states. Source: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanians "Another one is Francesco della Valle's 1532 manuscripts that state that the Romanians from Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania preserved the name "Roman" and cites the sentence "Sti Rominest?". " Thats why although the Moldovan state did exist, the moldovan ethnicity/language did not. Same as a wallachian or transylvanian ethnicity or language never existed. Romanians only use the names of transylvanian, muntenian or moldovan to describe from which region they are to other romanians. The ethnicity "moldovan" is a invention from soviet times and still supported by russian communist nostalgics and victims of propaganda in the R. of Moldova. The language "moldovan" also does not exist and is an invented term, its just romanian as it is also stated in the R. of Moldova constitution. Yes romanian is officially recognized by the moldavian state as their language but again russian propagandists call it moldovan and spread this mythos. During the gain of independence the anthem adopted by R. of Moldova was the same as that of Romania: "Awaken Romanian!" that was later changed bc of the protest of (surprise) russian communist nostalgics. Since then this fake narrative of a moldovan ethnicity and language is being pushed by the pro russian and communist nostalgics in R. of Moldova. With rather less success as each year support of a union with Romania grows, polls showing a all time high of nearly 50% by end of 2021.

That one is simple both germany and ussr signed the molotov ribbentrop pact. The pact granted non agression between then and the division of Poland and the baltic states. Hitler did that to avoid a two front war.

@@arthurlofrano7021 wtf are you talking about? I'm referring to the Yalta Conference of Hypocrites. FYI Patton wanted to keep going taking Berlin and crushing Communism at the same time. Somehow he died from a mysterious "blood clot" that went to his heart 🤔

@@JohnSmith-is4uu oh sorry, i thought it was about the molotov ribbentrop. But in yalta the polish were sold to the soviets pretty much because the USSR had full control of the east and a full war with the soviets was scrapped out of the allied plans since the Russian were much stronger than before and were even invading the japanese Manchuria down to North Korea.

ussr was too strong for the allies to oppose and traty between poland and france and britain were made in case of german invasion of poland not the soviet

there was no "civil war" - it was occupation!

There are Eastern Galicia and the Carpathian Mountains. Poles and Ukrainians lived there. The Treaty of Versailles after the 1WW did not regulate to whom these lands should belong. So there was an armed struggle for these territories.

It wouldn't have been such a struggle if instead of attacking and murdering the Poles, Ukrainians would have cooperated with them. Also, Ukraine claimed waaaay too large of boundaries for itself and refused to compromise. In defense of Ukraine, the Poles were assholes right back but they probably had more right to the land and were the lesser of 2 evils.

It's very tragic

It was not only Russia that was Soviet, such movements were spread throughout the territory of the Russian Empire. (The same Stalin was a Georgian communist in general, Dzerzhinsky was a Pole, Trotsky was born in Ukraine ). And Ukriana at that time was not a whole, a single state because it was in a state of civil war of the Russian Empire, because it was previously part of it, and therefore the Bolsheviks, who consider themselves the government of Russia, considered it necessary to establish their power on its territories. And they interfered in the affairs of Ukraine, in which the unrest itself took place because of the Ukrainian communists, and the same Nestor Makhno and his "free territory". Please do not apply the current realities to the events of a CENTURY ago. At that time, Ukraine was for the Entente countries, as Abkhazia and South Ossetia are now. Separatist countries that, guarded, kept hostile to them. And, the concept of "imperialism" and the accession to its composition committed by the Communists are different things.
