Ireland = Ukraine?

Ireland and Ukraine are parallel worlds apart.  


No one can associate with the Ukrainian Crisis better than the Irish.  

To sum it up in short: 


* Both countries had religion as a source of strength: 
   In Ireland it was the Roman Catholic, in Ukraine, Greek Catholicism.
 
* Both countries have a true anarchic streak: 
   In the 19th century, nationalist pro-independence movements began to gather momentum in        Ireland and Ukraine. 

The Irish rose up in 1916, as Britain was being bled white by the Great War
                                                                                      vs
the Ukrainians tried to create a national state after World War I and after the German invasion in 1941.
 

Ireland suffered the Great Famine when its potato crops failed between 1845 and 1852
                                                                                       vs
 Ukraine was put through an man-made genocide through starvation engineered by Stalin.

In the Russian Empire, Ukraine was known as Malorossia, or “Little Russia”                                                                                                                                     vs
The Romans called Ireland Micra Britannia, “Little Britain.”
