Hello:

You can add the small but historically significant uprising in Croatia against the Yugoslav government (lead by the UHRO - Ustasa Hrvatska Revolucionarna Organizacija [Ustasa Croatian Revolutionary Organization]), that culminated with the so-called "Velebit Rebellion" of 1932 and the assasination of Yugoslav King Aleksandar in 1934.

The Finnish Olonets expedition in 1919-20, an attempt to incorporate East Karelia (or part of it) into Finland from Soviet Russia.

The Finnish Olonets expedition in 1919-20, an attempt to incorporate East Karelia (or part of it) into Finland from Soviet Russia.

There was another Finnish volunteer expedition in 1921-22 to Olonets to support a popular rising against the Soviet regime.

[Kingdom of Montenegro]

There was also uprising in Montenegro (1918-1927) against serbian troops and montenegrin bjelaši(people who suported unification with Serbia).Serbia had full support of french and british goverment so the rebels had no chanse.

There were also border incidents between Romanian and Soviet troops in Basarabia.

I`ll add something. When Germans walked into Czechoslovakia in March 1938, except Romania (right?) bitting off a part of that country, also polish troops (!!!!) invaded and took city of Cieszyn and its surroundings.

I bet most of you didn`t realize that on the eve of war Poland actually attacked another country

Why did it happen? Czechoslovakia invaded the same city during Russo-polish war when (and that`s another conflict) all polish forces were busy on the eastern front. There`s an interesting history behind that, some ill equipped polish volounteers defending that city from Czech forces for few days before they had to retreat. So polish 'invasion' (too big word) from the end of 1938 was a form of revenge for the previous czech attack.

It was rather a fulitle victory, as it was similiar to kicking someone already laying on the ground. Poland would do better by supporting Masaryks government against Hitler. Especially that world media didn`t like the polish attack on Cieszyn.

On a sidenote. From 1919 to 1921 there were 3 polish uprisings in Silesia. The outcome was that whole northern part of it, with important mines and factories went to Poland.

[Liluh]

Ah, my bad. It was Hungary not Romania who took part of Czechoslovakia in 1938.

[Benoit Douville]

The most important Battle is the Soviet-Polish War. Pilsudski and Weygand beat those Soviet advancing in Warsaw. It is called "The Miracle of the Vistula". It prevailed the invasion of the Red Army in Western Europe.

Liluh also pointed out the border conflict between the Germans and the Poles in Silesia (1919-1921) The brutality and savagery of those Battle in Silesia was really fierce on both sides. Those Battle in Silesia are unknown in North America.

I read a book many years ago about the history of all of the South American military organizations from the time of colonization to some time in the 1960s I think. It was a fascinating book with a lot of interesting data and I wish I could find it again, or at least have someone remind me what its name was.

Was the Columbian-Peruvian Border War of 1922 the one where more than 90% of the male population of Peru was killed?

1939 March 23: Germany occupies Memelgebiet formerly held by Lithuania. Hitler himself together with Admiral Raeder made the journey on the Panzerschiff Deutschland from Swinemünde to Memel while von Ribbentrop at the same time pressed the Lithuanian envoy to sign a treaty in Berlin.

[Der Schwarze Ritter]

Don't forget a little war in Burgenland between the leftist Austrian government and the Hungarians.
