Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on Modern Affairs continues with a video asking if the Ukrainian Euromaidan of 2014, also known as the Revolution of dignity was a coup or a revolution. Previously we talked about the Russian elites and various power brokers and groups, as we try to deduce who is going to rule Russia after Putin (   • Who is Going to Rule Russia After Put...  ), the European Union, discussing if it is a real superpower or an utopia (   • Can the EU be a Superpower? - Kings a...  ), short-term union that is fated to dissolve, about Russia, China and Iran and discussed their ties, interests and contradictions and try to deduce if Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Ali Khamenei can form a stable alliance - a new axis or support each other temporarily (   • Russia, China and Iran - a New Axis? ...  ), made videos on the 15 Events that Defined the War in Ukraine (   • 15 Events that Defined the War in Ukr...  ) and on the possible vectors of the upcoming Ukrainian counter-attack (   • Where Will Ukraine Attack? - Russian ...  ) and on why we consider the war in Ukraine to be Unprovoked (   • Why Do We Call the War in Ukraine Unp...  ).

    I think it is vitally important to note that while the European Union was negotiating with Ukraine they were also dealing with the Greek Crisis. They could only offer so much to Ukraine because they were insisting on austerity in Greece.

    @16:20 Reportedly, the chief of staff was dismissed for refusing to use the army to supress the protests without a written order. The deputy chief of staff was then asked to do the same, which he refused and resigned of his own volution.

    Well technically the American Revolution was a French supported uprising. But even the French couldn't expect its breakthrough success. Napoleon once famously stated: We have created the most fierce competitor for the British on the Seas.

    great job, it's a pity you didn't cover the "Dictatorial Laws of January 16" after which Yanukovych had 0 chances to hold power, he angered even his ardent supporters among the citizens. Because according to these laws, everyone had the opportunity to go to prison for the absurd, for example, a traffic jam. Or a ban on head protection on the street - Cyclist? Builder - You can literally go to jail because of hastily designed laws for these rallies

    Watching Winter on Fire documentary really gave me a lot of respect for the people of Ukraine. They've been through a lot since 2014.
  • @STANDINGCarabao
    Euromaidan made me interested about ukraine. Up to this day I am still following the news about Ukraine. 🇵🇭🤝🇺🇦
  • @michaelevans1193
    This type of question (coup or not) exists in Honduras in 2009. That crisis and its aftermath is an equally interesting story.
  • @jackbenny4458
    I still remember when the police beat and stripped one of the protesters naked in front of everyone to humiliate him. He was naked in the freezing snow with cameras recording him.
  • @paulwallis7586
    A coup is also usually a planned effort. Euromaidan looks more like a messy series of reactions. Not a coup.
  • @iexist3919
    Videos like this are very important for understanding why there is conflict in Ukraine today. Also will there be a video on the annexation of Crimea and the Donbas war?
  • @Gvozd111
    I don’t like when western media put the question of Russia vs Europe as the main question in Ukrainian politics. I totally get why though but as much as it was about European Union, the main goal of the revolution was to remove corrupt President and corrupt politicians. Who were not only stealing huge amounts of money for them and their families and friends, but also had the audacity to apply power and kill protesting civilians. Yeah this was against Russia and in favor of EU, however, I strongly believe that had Yanukovych be pro-EU and continued to do what he did, the revolution would still happened sooner or later
  • @williamkarbala5718
    You guys should take the scripts of all these episodes and publish it in a book
  • @funki4896
    It's funny how nobody talks about how "ProFFessor" Yanukovych was a bandit and even was in prison...
  • @jeffcooper7258
    I've been waiting for Perun to cover this difficult topic for over a year now. I'm glad you guys have. You've struck a reasonable balance, and defended your position with facts. Still, the hate mail will be entertaining. Share some of it. We could use a laugh.
  • @mikemodugno5879
    Also, you reminded me that I would love to see you do a series (or two) about the French and Indian War and the American Revolution in North America.
  • @elonmuch491
    The subject is ofc handelt excellently, but OMG THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. Not only is the artwork amazing, but even the maps feel so much sleeker. I love it! Keep up the amazing work guys!
  • @DoubleU-nu5tq
    I recall watching Winter on Fire a long time ago, it's simply mind boggling that the flames of freedom so close to being extinguished are now pillars of State, unyielding to the Ruzzi Menace. I salute you Ukraine yet again, you've shown time and again your impossible feats.
  • @-RONNIE

  • @Tom-pt5wm
