Ukrainian–Soviet War
.jpg?width=300)
The Ukrainian–Soviet War of 1917–21 (Ukrainian: Українсько-радянська війна) was a war between the Ukrainian People's Republic and the Soviet Russia. The war ensued soon after the October Revolution when Lenin dispatched the Antonov's expeditionary group to Ukraine and Southern Russia. Some modern historians view it as an occupation by military forces of Western and Central Europe, including the Polish Republic's military. Other historians view it as a War of Independence by the Ukrainian People's Republic against the Russian Soviet Republic.
