Northern Eurasia 100 years ago today: Battle of Warsaw (12 August 1920) https://buff.ly/2MWTTwz In the west, the Soviets had beaten back a Polish invasion of the Ukraine and reached the gates of Warsaw. However, at the 'Miracle at the Vistula', the Poles unexpectedly defeated their overconfident opponents. Still troubled by civil war, the Soviets were forced to sue for peace. #1920 #1920s #20thcentury #august #august12 #carta #cartographer #historic #history #historyfacts #historylovers #historymajor #historyteacher #instahistory #maps #modernhistory #northerneurasia #oldmaps #polishindependence #polishhistory #historyofpoland #historyofrussia #russianrevolution #russiancivilwar #russianhistory #sovietunion #ussr #todayinhistory #historytoday #thisdayinhistory (at Warsaw, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDyI7SxgTtp/?igshid=1adncj2ybxtkn

Northern Eurasia 103 years ago today: February Revolution (08 Mar 1917) https://buff.ly/2NQrLJL By February 1917 (according to the old style Julian calendar still in use in Russia), the Tsarist system was on the brink of collapse. Russia's troops were demoralized, its economy was crumbling, and discontent was everywhere. On 8 March (23 February old style), riots broke out in Petrograd, the capital, and within two days the city had been almost completely closed down. Tsar Nicholas II's attempts to end the disorder simply resulted in troop mutinies and the disintegration of the police force. On the 15th, the Tsar abdicated and the Provisional Government of Prince George Lvov, Paul Milivkov and Alexander Kerensky took over. #1917 #20thcentury #march #cartografia #cartography #firstworldwar #greatwar #historias #historic #historical #histories #historyclass #historyfacts #historymatters #historynerd #mapmaking #maps #march8 #northerneurasia #russianrevolution #russianempire #russianhistory #worldhistory #worldwar1 #worldwari #ww1 #ww100 #wwi #todayinhistory #thisdayinhistory (at St. Petersburg, Russia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9dxjVAgGWd/?igshid=f5zd6rbce64t

Northern Eurasia 80 years ago today: Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact (28 Oct 1939) https://buff.ly/2JsZsAc On 23 August 1939, even while it was fighting Japan on the Mongolian border, the Soviet Union shocked the world by agreeing to the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact with Nazi Germany. Formally, this was a non-aggression pact between two ideological enemies. However a secret clause agreed to the division of eastern Europe. When the Germans invaded Poland in September, the Soviets joined in and invaded from the east. #1930s #1939 #20thcentury #october #diplomacy #germany #historias #histories #historisch #history #historybuff #historyfacts #historygram #historymaker #maps #militaryhistory #modernhistory #northerneurasia #october28 #poland #ussr #sovietunion #russia #russianhistory #stalin #josefstalin #todayinhistory #historytoday #thisdayinhistory #ww2 (at Warsaw, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4J6YougmEO/?igshid=qvg57ggcjlpa

Northern Eurasia 80 years ago today: Soviet-Japanese Border Wars (22 Aug 1939) https://buff.ly/2Mx2K8S The late 1930s saw international stability further deteriorate, with a Japanese invasion of China followed by the German seizure of Austria and Czechoslovakia. Japan's expansionism brought it into direct conflict with the Soviet Union. In July and August 1938, and again from May to September 1939, the Japanese were beaten back in undeclared border wars with Soviet and Mongolian troops. #northerneurasia #history #welovehistory #welovemaps #map #1930s #20thcentury #modernhistory #1939 #august #august22 #manchukuo #japaneseempire #sovietunion #ussr #manchuria #mongolia #russianhistory #sovietjapanesewar #ww2 #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics (at Battles of Khalkhin Gol) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1dRXr0AdD6/?igshid=dugcfg75p23e
