S3:E2 – Baltic Wars: Ukraine 2022 - Where Do We Go From Here (Special Episode)
Episode Notes
In April, The Camden County College Department of History and political Science Hosted a Community Lecture on the Situation in Ukraine in 2022. We discussed Russian and Soviet History,
We discussed Ukrainian History since 1991, We discussed International Relations and International Institutions, and then I had the last topic "What Might Happen Next."
This vid is that part of the lecture evening (expanded from its 18m original form). Unfortunately, the evening in its entirety was not recorded.
So I made this special video just for you. I hope you like it.

Episode Notes
Baltic Wars: Scandinavia from 1520 - 1809 (and before and beyond) is a new season of Great Big History Podcast. In Baltic Wars we are going to talk about the Murders, the Wars, the Heroes, the Villains of North and Eastern Europe.
In this episode we look at how a revolt in the South Eastern Ukraine sparked a larger war and then a Russian Invasion which set off Western intervention in the Baltic. We Look at the Time of Troubles, Poland-Lithuania's army, a genocide of Jewish settlers which was a precursor to ethnic violence for the next 400 years. We look at battles won and lost and treaties signed but never carried out. And we set up the wars to come in the 1650s and beyond.
