Abstract: After the 1917 revolution in Russia, the Ukrainians began their struggle for independence.
They created the state’s authorities and in January 1918, proclaimed independence.
Ukraine at that time was occupied both by German and Austro-Hungarian
troops. The Ukrainian authorities signed a tripartite agreement with Germany and
the Austro-Hungarian Empire to protect the newborn state from the Bolshevik Russian
government. In exchange, the Ukrainians undertook to supply the Germans and
Austro-Hungarians with food produce. World War I ended in the defeat of Germany
and the Austro-Hungarians, and Ukraine was subsequently treated by the Entente states
as an ally. There were two coup d’etats in the Ukrainian authorities. Following the
end of WWI, Ukraine found itself at war with Bolshevik Russia, and later with Poland
on its western border. After sustaining heavy losses against the Bolsheviks, in 1920
Ukraine signed a pact with Poland to join forces in the fight together against Russia.
However, it was too late to save the country’s independence. Ukraine became part of
Soviet Union until 1991.2018-01-01T00:00:00Z
