Polish‑Ukrainian war of 1918‑1919: One of the wars for borders of the newly reborn Poland. At the end of 1918 on the former Austro‑Hungarian empire’s territory, based on the Ukrainian military units of the former Austro‑Hungarian army, Ukrainians waged war against Poland. In particular attempted to create foundation of an independent state and attacked Lviv. Thanks to heroic stance of Lviv inhabitants, in particular young generation of Poles — called since then Lviv eaglets — the city was recaptured by Poles and for a number of months successfully defended against furious Ukrainian attacks. In 1919 Poland — its newly created army — pushed Ukrainian forces far to the east and south, regaining control over its territory. (more on: en.wikipedia.orgClick to attempt to display webpage
