Many times, geography and history are relatively synonymous, because several locations have a resounding place in history. For example, the Vietnam War took place in the country of Vietnam. The war itself is titled because of the location. The Vietnamese people are identified by their country, and the events leading up to that war are partly due to its strategic location. In this way, the war cannot be separated from the location in which it took place. Therefore, the relationship between history and geography could be viewed as one in the same. In Urasia, mainly Ukraine, the people were overcome by the soviets and the farmlands were taken and turned into collectives. The farmers who had owned the farm land were forced to work at the collectives and when the people revolted by brning the crops, the soviets left with all of the grain causing millions to perish.
