Postwar postcard map of the Balkans including Albania, newly-created Yugoslavia, expanded Romania, and diminished former Central Powers Bulgaria and Turkey. The first acquisitions of Greece in its war against Turkey are seen in Europe where it advanced almost to Constantinople, in the Aegean Islands from Samos to Rhodes, and on the Turkish mainland from its base in Smyrna. The Greco-Turkish war was fought from May 1919 to 1922. The positions shown held from the war's beginning to the summer of 1920 when Greece advanced eastward. Newly independent Hungary and Ukraine appear in the northwest and northeast.

"Whereas the Ukrainian People has, in the course of the present world war, declared its independence, and has expressed the desire to establish a state of peace between the Ukrainian People's Republic and the Powers at present at war with Russia, the Governments of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and Turkey have resolved to conclude a Treaty of Peace with the Government of the Ukrainian People's Republic; they wish in this way to take the first step towards a lasting world peace, honourable for all parties, which shall not only put an end to the horrors of the war but shall also conduce to the restoration of friendly relations between the people in the political, legal, economic and intellectual spheres."
Preamble to the Treaty of Peace between Ukraine and the Central Powers signed at Brest-Litovsk, February 9, 1918. Claiming to believe in the right of self-determination of peoples, Leon Trotsky, leading the Russian delegation to the peace negotiations at Brest-Litovsk, opened the door for an independent Ukrainian delegation. Struggling to reach a peace agreement with the Russians and desperate for food Ukraine could provide, the Germans and Austro-Hungarians reached an agreement with the Ukrainians. In the preceding days, the Red Army had taken the Ukrainian capital of Kiev, and then lost it.
