For the Ukrainian side in the conflict, the crucial problem was that the West Ukrainian political-military leaders did not succeed in mobilizing the biggest part of the Ukrainian peasantry for their course as the [[peasant]]s have been much more involved in their [[economic]] for existence than the [[political]] interests. Another problem/question Was how much they have felt themselves as “Ukrainians” at all in order to fight against the Poles. In such a political situation, in order to attract the peasants for the Ukrainian course, the [[Ukrainian nationalist]]s tried to make use of some [[social]]-economic slogans and, therefore, promised the peasantry an [[agricultural]] reform after the war–distribution of [[land]] (the [[Bolshevik|Russian Bolshevik]]s were propagating the same at the same time). Nevertheless, the Ukrainian nationalists used all means of force for the reason to [[mobilize]] the peasants of West Ukraine for the Ukrainian military to fight Poles in East Galicia. | For the Ukrainian side in the conflict, the crucial problem was that the West Ukrainian political-military leaders did not succeed in mobilizing the biggest part of the Ukrainian peasantry for their course as the [[peasant]]s have been much more involved in their [[economic]] for existence than the [[political]] interests.
