Because of political views

Yeah I think the Ukrainians here was facing some religious opposition

Or something like that.

And taking part in uprisings

I never heard about that tbh, most Ukrainians were Orthodox anyway, and the rest were Unitarians, which are basically Catholic Orthodox, so I doubt it was anything serious

I think it was unitarians.

I'd have to look it up to be certain though.

Weird, but you may be right

A quick wikipedia search tells me they came here because WWI kinda sucked and they were having a famine as usual.

Understandable

Didn't WWI happened in 1900s though?
You were talking about 1800s

Yeah the initial settlers came in the 1800s but the vast majority came during WWI

They had few independent and semi-independent Ukrainian countries during and after the WWI
I still feel bad for them because of how we betrayed them during the Polish-Bolshevik war

We had a small power struggle back then, and one side promised Ukrainians that they will have an independent state in the Intermarium federation if they will retract their claims for eastern Małopolska and if they will help us in the war with Bolsheviks
But it was the nationalists that were singing the treaty in Riga, and they were like "no thanks, take these Hohol lands if you want Soviets, we're just gonna take the westernmost part we deem suitable for polonisation"

But well, when the another World War happened they did the whole Volhynia massacre thing, so I guess we're more than even now.

My favourite thing about Ukrainians and WWI was the whole Free Territory thing

Makhno was a real based fucker

Is that the anarchist commune that lasted for 2 years that every anarchist likes to cite?

Well, there were a few of them actually, but yeah, that was like one of the most important in the history

That was fast

I blame reddit science for this existing.

We get it spooky
