    An Aside: The USSR never should have transferred Crimea from Russia to Ukraine in the 1950's. Crimea had been Russia's largest warm water port for almost 200 years at that point. Khrushchev's shifting around of populations and territories is still causing messes to this day.

        The whole Black Sea region has seen war and conflict for 1000's of years. Longest peace in that area might've been under the Ottomans.
