Why didn't Ukraine get Independence after World War 1?
The first major domino to fall can be identified as the October Revolution which occurred in Russia in 1917. After overthrowing the Czar in March, the Bolsheviks next aimed to overthrow the provisional government that took over. With Vladimir Lenin at the helm, the revolutionaries hoped to replace the ruling bourgeois class with a Bolshevik communist regime in a coup d’etat that led to a full-blown civil war. This conflict would carry on until 1923, but Lenin had already established his own government in Russia and they were on the way to forming the Soviet Union…

    Great video! But I think it was needed to mention about Kruty battle. It was a really important battle where mostly students-volounteers fought against Bolshevicks, it stopped red army's offensive for 6 hours and helped UNR government to evacuate from Kyiv to Brest-Litovsk. Without this battle UNR wouldn't be able to evacuate from Kyiv to sign the treaty with Central powers. So without this battle this history would have been ended at 1918 winter.

    Nice video, but it is confusing without more context. I was really confused when I first watched it. There were two Brest-Livtosk treaties signed under same umbrella. One between the UNR and Central Powers (9-Feb-1918) and another between Bolsheviks and Central Powers (3-March-1918). The UPR declared sovereignty in Jan 1918 (under general Russian Revolution) and signed a treaty 9-Feb-1918 with Central Powers to get foreign aid to fight Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks signed a treaty with Central Powers on 3-March-1918 to get out of WW1, whereby it ceded the Baltics to Germany, who already occupied much of it, and granted (perhaps grudgingly - murky) Ukraine its independence. Germany provided foreign aid to Ukraine to perhaps help fight some Bolsheviks who persisted, in exchange for food. Germany said Ukraine reneged on the deal, whereby it installed a puppet government in Ukraine. The UNR attacked the Germans. A 12-June-1918 peace deal between the UNR and Bolsheviks is mentioned. The 11-Nov-1918 armistice ended WW1. Following that Bolshevik Russia annulled the treaty and laid claim to the Baltics and Ukraine and sent troops back into Ukraine. The Russian Civil War ended in June 1923. This is a confusing period and I'm just trying to understand it. Respectfully.

    @@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.

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.

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.

    @@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.

    Great video! Although I have some corrections on your pronunciation of some words. I think my comment is important since it helps people understand how our way of transliteration works for literary any word, name, or city. The main mispronunciation is that you read "ch" as "k" like in the surname "Bach". But in Ukrainian transliteration, it's always pronounced the same as in English (like in word chair). The "kh" letter combination is something in between "k" and "h" (similar to the German sound in "nach"). So, pronounce it like Harkiv (with a strong and clear "h"), and Bahmatsh (with the same strong "h").

Just like previous no fly zones enforced over Iraq, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Libya; it would need approval from the UN Security Council. 3. Most of the Russian military aircraft are launching their weapons at Ukrainian targets in Russian and Belarusian airspace and over the Caspian Sea. 4. It would be difficult to issue warnings to any Russian combat aircraft that violates the no fly zone over Ukraine. 5. The Ukrainian Armed Forces, the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs, and armed civilian militias are now beating back the Russian Armed Forces, the Russian National Guard, Wagner Group, the DPR People's Militia, and the LPR People's Militia thanks to western made weapons supplied by NATO and the west.

    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.
