History
- 1918 - In the aftermath of the Brest-Litovsk Treaty, German troops occupy most of Ukraine, and are instrumental in Pavlo Skoropadskyi coup against the Ukrainian People's Republic (April 1918) and the establishment of the short-lived Ukrainian State.
- 1941-1944 - Nazi troops (with the help of Romanians, Italians, and Hungarians) occupy most of Soviet Ukraine; OUN's Ukrainian Insurgent Army alternates between fighting the Germans and accepting their help against the Soviets.
- 1944-1950s - surviving OUN leaders find refuge in the US occupation zone of Germany, which becomes home to many Ukrainian displaced persons
- 1953 - Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (then called "Radio Liberation") starts its operations in Munich, broadcasting to Ukraine in Ukrainian
