Support for this episode also came from Game of Trenches, a free mobile game out now for iOS and Android: <a href="http://bit.ly/GameOfTrenches">http://bit.ly/GameOfTrenches</a> * <br> <br>*Ads like this help us with the production of this show, for example we were able to hire someone in Kiev this month who was able to get us pictures from the Ukrainian National Archive. This included a lot of analog bureaucracy and of course that kind of work doesn't come for free.

Also the whole conflicts in the East were insane. In 1919 alone, Kyiv changed hands over a dozen times. Imagine living there and being part of a different country every month.

The War to End All Wars ended November 11th 1918. Somebody obviously didn't get the memo.

I'm so glad someone is covering the post-WWI conflicts in-depth. Only recently my only knowledge of anything after WWI was the Spanish Civil War, now I have a whole new period of history to study!

I'm absolutely baffled by the number of wars from 1900 to 1944 it's insane. And they definitely never went through it in public school history classes! I find it extremely interesting.

Makhno and the Anarchists surely deserve an episode of their own?

I never paid much attention to the period right after the war. It's really fascinating how the fighting never stopped.
