The Ukrainian People's Army: Ukraine's Army during the War of Independence (1917 – 1921)

The Ukrainian People's Army (Ukrainian National Army) was the army of the Ukrainian People's Republic (also known as the Ukrainian National Republic; the UNR) which was proclaimed after the Bolshevik October Revolution. When Soviet Russia and Germany signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk it left Ukraine in the German sphere of influence. Apart from the UNR the West Ukrainian People's Republic was established in Eastern Galicia. This republic was soon overrun by the Polish forces in the Polish–Ukrainian War (1918 - 1919). Meanwhile White Russian (led by Anton Denikin) troops fought against the Red (this was the Southern Front of the Russian Civil War). The White Russian forces were attacked by the Black Army of Nestor Machno: the Revolutionary Insurgent Army of Ukraine who ruled the so-called Free Territory of Ukraine (Makhnovshchina).
