Ferdinand of Austria by some Bosnian-Serb nationalist. The war soon spread worldwide. As the result, it was the end of four major imperial powers. The Treaty of Versailles which was signed at the end of WWI and it is often said that it eventually lead to the beginning of World War II in 1939. World War II In late 1938, Britain tried to avoid another world war by signing the Munich Pact. The pact gave Germany ,,permission" to invade Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia. In March 1939, Britain announced that it would be supportive to Poland when Germany would invade it, but German invaded anyway. Hitler and Stalin had secretely signed an agreement dividing up Poland between the two powers. On 3rd September 1939, when many people were already preparing for war, Neville Chamberlain, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom at that time, broadcast to the nation, announcing the declaration of war in Germany from Britain.

Wilson's interest was in keeping with his own goal of closer ties with Europe under the aegis of the League of Nations (the unsuccessful precursor 9 to the United Nations). The most workable solution appeared to be a single federal state of two equal republics, and this was spelled out in agreements signed in Cleveland in 1915 and then in Pittsburgh in 1918. As WWI drew to a close Czechoslovakia declared its independence, with Allied support, on 28 October 1918. Prague became the capital, and the popular Masaryk, a writer and political philosopher, became the republic's first president. On 1 January 1922 Greater Prague was established by the absorption of several surrounding towns and villages, growing to a city of 677, 000. Like the rest of the country, Prague experienced an industrial boom until the Great Depression of the 1930s. By 1938 the population had grown to one million.

· Political Agential factors: Decisions and calculations made by individuals Or the personalities of certain individuals Most `older' theories of democratization emphasized structural change eg revolution in Russia or China; democratization in the UK & USA In the 1990s, theories began to emphasize `agential' factors or eg the rise of solidarity in Poland, Vaclev Havel in Czechoslovakia, the downfall of Pinochet in Chile were thought to have been contingent on the presence of particular people as leaders or groups of people who were able to make pacts and arrange for transfer of power.

obsolete, but rather more necessary than they ever were, because some form of institution must structure and make habitable the environment created as a "spill-over effect" by Globalization. But even if we take a more narrow definition of state, if the 1990s have shown anything, it is the remarkable resilience of the state. Indeed, since 1989, we have more states than ever; the breakup of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, as well as of Czechoslovakia, are striking European examples. What one thus has seen, at least in part, is the re-emergence not only of statehood, but even of the nation state. Moreover, the EU, paradigm for times to come in all of Europe, is a state structure, constitutional crisis or not. There is a complex discussion about the legal "stateness" of the EU, but it certainly is a state if one uses a functional definition, which is what matters for PA and which is what is done here. What is more, the EU is a Continental

The country is rich in mineral resources: iron ore, coal, manganese, natural gas (shale costly and dangerous to extract), oil, sulfur, graphite, titanium, magnesium, kaolin, nickel, mercury, timber and others. It's commonly known that Ukraine is politically divided between its Western and Eastern regions. Ukraine's geography and history have played an important role in the country's current political crisis. Western parts of the country at times belonged to Poland, Austro- Hungary, and Czechoslovakia, while eastern and southern parts belonged to Russian Empire. Only after World War II did Ukraine attain its present borders as a republic within the Soviet Union. That history partly explains Ukraine's voting patterns, political sympathies, and outlook on the future. Population of Western Ukraine largely supports politics paying EU card (Yusteshenko, Tymoshenko), while industrial Eastern regions support Yanukovych as Politian closely associated with better relation / integration with Russia.
The league labelled Russia as an aggressor - Crimes of aggression, invading foreign territories, attacking them, bombardment of Helsinki.

Molotov fighting nazi ideology is a crime. Because mass killing was based on these ideologies. Soviet delivered jews to the Nazis. This collaboration is not denied, only denied that its based on a written agreement. - Crimes against humanity not clear deportation, but can be considered as other inhuman
conservatism and from there to regression. Political persecution started again, as did the Russification in other Soviet republics. During those years, the so-called Brezhnev’s doctrine was molded: the despotic supremacy of the Soviet Union to control all of its East-European members, both economically and militarily. The end of the “thaw” became evident in August 1968 when the Soviet military forces brutally suppressed the new liberal communist tide in Czechoslovakia. The population of Estonia was incessantly growing on the account of immigrants from the East, on average 9,000 people per year1. The suppression of critical opposition, revived political trials, created a democratic movement for human and civil rights. One of the most prominent leaders of it was the Soviet Academician Andrey Sakharov. New movements started in the Baltic states, demanding the right to have a
