Summary

War in a European Borderland examines the many regime changes that took place in occupied Ukraine during World War I. The decimation of people living between Austria-Hungary and the Russian empire-specifically Poles, Jews, Ukrainians, Belorussians, and the population of the Baltic states-extended to the destruction of their homeland as well, where most of the fighting occurred. Russian, German, and Austrian occupiers all worked to shape regimes in these borderland territories and the wartime policies enacted upon this region exacerbated ethnic tensions and discriminatory legislation.
