Russia's Invasion of Ukraine

In the final years of the First World War, the Russian Empire was coming to its end. It had been devastated by revolution and finally transformed into the first Communist country in the World. In the years following the Revolution, non-Russian nations that lived under the House of Romanov sought to secure their long-lost independence. One of these was Ukrainе. From 1917 until 1921, the Ukrainians had struggled to build and secure an independent country, fighting against the new regime, against their neighbors in the west, and also among themselves.

And I would love to visit. Ukraine, Americans are learning true freedom from you. The flag of pride and freedom is your flag, and when the peace comes I will come as I am. I am one of many, but right now I do what I can for you. I do not expect anything, but one simple wish. I wish to walk the streets of a prosperous and free Kyiv, with no schedule and the sounds of childrens' laughter and the guitars of street performers. I long to have my hardest decision be "What should I have for lunch?" and followed by fretting over a dressing on a salad. But right now, this war is more important. If what I do saves even one life, then I will be proud. 2008 was my darkest hour and I fully intend on being of use for winning this war. People now see my past and recognize my pain. I detest Russia's leaders as much as you do. It pains me that the foreign language I first learned in school was Russian. And it fills me with pride to see that Ukraine, a nation of peace is the mouse fighting the Russian lion. The mouse is the wiser one, as the lion may be brutal but he is ultimately a fool. What matters in life and death is courage. Слава Україні! Героям слава! Mar.

Except they threw this completely out of context. I implore you guys to read up on the treaty of riga. Essentially it was similar to the US pulling out of vietnam but the land disputes are similar to the 38th parallel between north and south Korea where territories previously under north korean control went to South Korea and vice versa in order to make the border straight across the 38th parallel. The polish were fighting the soviets on their own soil, and the soviets decided to go to negotiations with poland. Poland was in ruins by the soviet invasion in 1920 so they werent in a position to repel further soviet invasions so they were forced to just accept a peace treaty with the soviets and unfortunately werent able to further fight on Ukraine's behalf. Also the lands poland tried to claim from ukraine were previously polish lands that were not returned to poland after poland was divided by 3 countries and completely off the map for over 100 years

While I always enjoy these videos, it was rather difficult for me personally to keep up with how the geography played into the progression of this part of history. A map was only shown once or twice in this video. More maps would definitely help illustrate where the battles were taking place and how the outcomes of each affected the geography. So much happened in such a short span of time and was so pivotal to the history of Ukraine. The biggest take away from this video is that independence and freedom is ingrained in the history of Ukraine.
