Why did Ukraine used to be called the Ukraine?

Some people used to refer to it as such, and some still do, but this is linguistically wrong. The name of the country is simply Ukraine.So it is grammatically right to write 'Ukraine' not 'the Ukraine.'Using "the" is a holdover from when Ukraine was under Russian domination. Both the czars and the Soviets denied the nationhood of Ukraine, and tried to force the people to assimilate. This was done by banning the usage of the Ukrainian language and by trying to get people to believe that Ukraine was merely a region of RUssia, and that the Ukrainians were merely "Little Russians."The correct usage (and that preferred by the current government) is simply "Ukraine." The other usage was preferred by the Russian and Soviet overlords in Ukraine's past; they denied the separate nationhood of Ukraine, and considered it merely a region of Russia. Thus the usage.

When did the Russians invade the aleutians?

The Russians invaded the Aleutian Islands during World War II, specifically in June 1942. They occupied the islands of Attu and Kiska as part of a strategy to extend their military presence in the North Pacific. The U.S. launched a campaign to retake the islands, culminating in the Battle of Attu in May 1943, which resulted in the defeat of Russian forces.


Explain Stalin demanding a second front?

It's pretty straightforward; the Nazis were whomping the Russians in 1942 and '43, and Stalin was desperate for something - ANYTHING - to take the heat off of his troops. He figured if the Allies (the Americans and British) were to re-invade western Europe, the Germans would need to transfer a lot of their forces to France and take the heat off of the Russians.
