1939: The Next European War Will Start With The Ukraine
'Look' magazine, dated March 14th, 1939 - stated that the next European war would start in The Ukraine.
From a comment on Reddit:
"It looks like the author of the map actually read Mein Kampf and took it at face value (unlike most contemporary politicians). Cause this here perfectly depicts the pursuit of Lebensraum, Hitler’s ultimate goal.
"German troops invaded the remainder of Czechoslovakia literally the day after this was published, on March 15 1939. On March 16 Hitler went to Czech lands and from Prague Castle proclaimed the German protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.
"“The” Ukraine here is referring to the territory rather than a country, hence the preposition."
Ukraine didn't exist as country in 1939. It was the Soviet Union. This map doesn’t show Ukraine as a country but rather as a region. There are black lines as borders and Ukraine is cut in few parts with those.
Crimea was Russian, since 1783, except a few years 1917-1921 after the soviet revolution when it was part of Ukrainian People's Republic
Although, has Europe ever NOT been at war?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
