A History of Conflicts
1200–1945
In this overview, Ukraine’s history of conflicts, conquerors and political flux is illustrated via a timeline from 1200 to WW2, at which time Ukraine came under Soviet control.

These timelines show a history of Ukraine’s seemingly ever-present battle to cling to its independence – a battle to protect her culture, her heritage and, most of all, her unique identity.
