During the existence of the USSR, its armed forces had to take part in several wars. Here are some of them.

Soviet-Polish War

This armed conflict began when our country was still in Civil War. Until the 13th century, Western Ukraine and Belarus were owned by the Rurikovichs. Afterwards, the Lithuanian state appeared on these lands. However, the Russian tsars considered the territory theirs. As a result of the division of Poland, part of the lands became part of the Republic of Ingushetia.

At the end of 1917, Poland became independent, after which its government set out to restore the 1772 borders and control Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania. On January 1, 1919, units of the Polish army occupied Vilna. A few days later, units of the Red Army drove out the invaders. Soon the Poles attacked Belarus and won a number of victories.

On April 25, 1920, Polish troops attacked the Red Army along the entire border with Ukraine. The enemy had an almost twofold advantage in numbers. A few days later he reached Pripyat and the Dnieper. On May 7, Kyiv was occupied. Soon the spacecraft offensive began under the command of Tukhachevsky, but at the end of May it foundered and the Poles launched a counteroffensive.

Reinforcements arrived on the Southwestern Front - the 1st Cavalry Army under the command of Budyonny, and the situation changed. On June 10, the Poles left Kyiv. On July 10, Rivne was captured. Soon ours reached the border with Poland. The decision was made to march on Warsaw. However, as a result, the 1st Cavalry found itself at a great distance from the supply units, face to face with superior enemy forces.

The Poles inflicted great damage on the spacecraft, which was forced to retreat. Subsequently, it was decided to place the blame for this decision on M. Tukhachevsky. Negotiations began in the fall. After 5 months they ended with the signing of the Riga Peace Treaty. According to it, the territories of Western Ukraine and Belarus were transferred to Poland.

Polish campaign of the spacecraft 1939

In Poland, these events of 1939 are called the Soviet invasion. This operation of the Red Army was carried out from September 17 to September 29, 1939. After the start of World War II, that is, from the moment the Nazis invaded Poland, the leadership of the USSR considered that it had ceased to exist as a state and, therefore, the Treaty of Riga lost force.

England and France, who were Polish allies, were inactive, the Wehrmacht troops very quickly advanced into the interior of the country. Therefore, wanting to help the Ukrainian and to the Belarusian people, parts of the Belarusian and Ukrainian Military Districts crossed the Polish border. They were given orders to take protection Western Ukraine and Belarus, whose territories were torn away from our country in 1920. Our fighters encountered practically no resistance to the spacecraft from the Polish military.

On September 19, a shootout took place near Lvov between the Germans and our fighters. In the following days, negotiations took place between these parties, as a result of which a demarcation line was established. The division of Polish territory between the USSR and Germany ended on September 28. On this day the Treaty of Friendship and Borders was signed.

As a result, 196 thousand m2 of land passed to the Soviet Union. 13 million people lived there. In November of the same year, these territories were accepted into the Ukrainian and Byelorussian SSR. Such actions of the spacecraft made it possible to significantly strengthen the defense capability of the USSR.

Soviet-Finnish War

At the end of 1917, the Bolsheviks recognized the independence of Finland. However, this country soon started a war, which ended with the signing of the Treaty of Yuryev, according to which the border began to pass on the Sestra River. Some territories were transferred to Finland.

Finland feared an attack by the USSR and entered into a non-aggression pact with it. Negotiations began in 1938. Our country tried to obtain a promise that if Germany tried to attack our country through Finland, Finland would not allow this. But the negotiations ended without results.

At the negotiations that began in the fall of 1939, the issue of the proximity of the border to Leningrad was raised; it was proposed to move the border 90 km from it. An exchange of territories was expected. However, Finland did not make any concessions, although various options were proposed.

The USSR began to prepare for war. The Finns too, large-scale military exercises were held, and the “Mannerheim Line” was built at a rapid pace. On November 26, Soviet territory was shelled from the Finnish side. This became the reason for the termination of the non-aggression treaty. On November 30, the spacecraft received the order to attack. The Soviet Union decided to do by military means what could not be done peacefully - to move the border from Leningrad so that the enemy could not capture it in the first hours after the attack.

The Soviet command assumed that the war would become quick. It was planned to capture Helsinki and occupy the entire country within 3 weeks. However, the plans were not destined to come true. The obstacle was the “Mannerheim Line,” which was a perfectly fortified line of defensive structures. Our management's information about them was incomplete. In addition, the Finnish army actually turned out to be much stronger. As a result, our troops were stuck on the Karelian Isthmus.

The success was that, having occupied the Rybachy and Sredniy islands, the spacecraft managed to block the enemy’s access to Barents Sea. European countries began to provide active assistance to Finland. 11 thousand volunteers came to it. By the end of December there was relative calm at the front. Our command, taking into account the mistakes made, reorganized the troops.

Only on February 1, the spacecraft operations were resumed. The general offensive began on February 11. The most powerful artillery preparation was carried out for 10 days. After they began to attack, the Mannerheim line was overcome after 3 days. Soviet troops developed success by taking one locality after another. On March 13, the spacecraft entered Vyborg.

Aware of the danger that if the spacecraft continues fighting, it will occupy all of Finland and it can be annexed to the USSR, the Finnish government proposed to negotiate peace. The signing of the peace treaty took place on March 12, in Moscow. Despite the fact that, according to its terms, hostilities were to cease at noon next day, and Vyborg was retreating to the USSR, ours considered it necessary to storm it.

All conditions of the Soviet Union were met. Leningrad was well defended. For these actions, the USSR was expelled from the League of Nations.
