    In East Ukraine there is the Donbas industrial zone, which has strongly influenced the course of military operations in that area both in the wars of the 20th century and and also the war between Russia and Ukraine. In this video we will look at operations in and around that area in the Russian Civil war and also in the first part of the Second World War.

    So, essentially control of Donbass allows for control of surrounding areas, thanks to the high mobility offered by it's infrastructural network. Yet because of that network and of it's built-up density, it is also easily defensible, and it cannot be reliably used as a springboard for future advances unless it isn't fully conquered first. Most of the succesful operations concerning Donbass and it's neighborhood seem to involve some flanking movements of sorts, to cut the place off, and force the defenders out by way of threat of encirclement, rather than direct action in the region. This consideration could explain why Russia in 2022 opted for the peripherical areas first rather than Donbass core itself, and also why Ukraine's counter offensive is aimed at denying control over such zones. Can't wait for part two. Excellent work as always, Eastory!

    i can hardly imagine the scale of ww2. Sure it was a total full on war and there were millions and millions of young poorest peasants guys from both sides. "2 mlns in the army group south", "175k got encircled", huge numbers. Now they are fighting like 200k vs 300k, and it is so hard to supply these small forces even with modern logistics. I cant imagine how much worse and chaotic it was back then....

    • @jevinliu4658
      @jevinliu4658 Год назад +9

      Not to worry, it is still possible to supply such quantities of troops. Operation Desert Storm involved almost 1 million men on the coalition side, and 700,000 on the Iraqi side, with almost-constant air strikes from the former.

    • @romainandrieux5948
      @romainandrieux5948 Год назад +1

      Well, the bottlenecks are worse because there is also less trucks, less horses, less inputs, less trains, less everything in fact. Not even enough personnel to drive trucks, repairs things... You have to scale up the logistic for supply, that is why for every soldier with a rifle in the us army there is maybe 7 or 10 other one carrying stuff, there in ukraine there is maybe 1 for 1 or less.

    3:50 For those wondering, I believe the black "A" army represents the "Black Army" or "Revolutionary Insurgent Army of Ukraine." Per the Wikipedia entry, this was an anarchist/Makhnovist armed group which fought against the Whites, then against the Reds, then against the Whites in alliance with the Reds, then against the Reds once the Whites were in retreat...as with much about the Russian Civil War, its complicated.

    From your video it makes you think that there were only two sites but actually there were many sites in the civil war including Ukraine, anarchists and all others. And they also played a major role in Soviet defeat in 1919.

    I gotta say, Eastory did a good job highlighting the Donbas' strategic importance. I don't think it was a coincidence that Putin began supporting separatist groups in that area.
