Silver Lands. The Chronicles of Carpatho-Ukraine 1919-1939

For centuries, the peoples of Transcarpathia were isolated by politics, geography, and poverty. Following WW1, neighboring states eyed Transcarpathia's strategic and material potential, and the region experienced a cultural renaissance. In 1939, as Europe prepared for war, the battle for area control escalated. Against a swell of political and military interventions, the republic of Carpatho-Ukraine was born, sowing the seeds for an independent Ukraine.
