This video is a short overview of Ukraine's history from the Kievan Rus to modern Ukraine and how it became its own country with its own identity separate from the Russian one, despite their common origins. I go into Ukraine's early history as an extension of the Eurasian steppe home to various nomadic tribes and empires such as the Huns, Khazars, Mongols Empire, and later Golden Horde, as well as its later history under the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth that made Ukraine and the Ruthenians more distinct from the other East Slavs united by Moscow. Other topics covered are the Cossacks and how they switched sides to the Russian empire, the first step in Ukraine and Belarus coming under centuries of Russian rule and not seeing independence before 1991 and the fall of the Soviet Union (apart from the Ukrainian war for independence during the Russian revolution following the Treaty of BrestLitovsk).
