    Got it mixed up with the Ukrainian counteroffensive against the Bolsheviks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1919_Soviet_invasion_of_Ukraine#Ukrainian_counter-offensive Ukraine has full NATO support and roughly 30 years of peace to develop as a state.

    Maybe if Poland would be locked into an alliance with A-H. I don't know, since AFAIK that issue was not really considered. FF wanted less democracy not more and if anything would want Romanians voting in Hungary to weaken the nobility politically and make them more allied to the crown as an...
