The British Empire, Russian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire all dominated people in various areas between 1920 and 1940 which gave rise to various nationalistic responses from some of those being dominated. Both the Palestinian-Israel struggle and Ukraine-Russia struggle came out of this time of domination, as did the root of bitterness which led to the Holocaust. Perhaps Britain should show more sympathy to Russia having to deal with consequences of being an Empire in the recent past. What happened in Ukraine is now happening on formerly British-ruled turf. The common factors might again lead to what happened in the 1940s: Powerful factors beyond our control, but we can be vigilant and try to avert the worst outcomes.
