. Should pay attention to the following aspects: the concentration of industrial production, the formation of large monopolistic associations, among which syndicates "Prodamet", "Produgol", "Prodvagon", identify the degree the impact of foreign capital on the development of industry in Ukraine, including the Southern Region.
Based on the study of sources and scientific literature show that an important role in the economic development of Ukrainian lands occupied by improvements in agricultural production of Ukraine: Stolypin’s agrarian reform and its consequences for the Ukrainian people, the resettlement of the peasantry in the Middle Volga, the North Caucasus, Siberia, the Far East and politicization of national life in Ukraine. It should show the influence of the revolution of 1905-1907 in Ukraine.
In the early XX century in Western Ukraine is a gradual transition to capitalist forms of management. Most Western industrial enterprises were small, not mechanized, located in villages and small towns. At Western Ukraine was intensely penetrating foreign capital, which is trying to control the main industrial area land created joint stock companies, trusts, syndicates, banks.
In preparing answers to the question "Ukraine in the First World War" draw attention to the causes of war, to emphasize that the war was a tragedy for the Ukrainian people. Ukrainian, having their own state, separated by borders, were forced to fight against each other in the armies of other countries that ignored the Ukrainian national interests. Eastern and Central Ukraine gave the Russian army 3.5 million soldiers, and Western Ukraine were raised over 250 thousands Ukrainians.
Revealing the period of Ukrainian national-democratic revolution in 1917-1920, primarily focus on the fact that the revolutionary transformation in Ukraine began to form in Kiev on March, 4 (17), 1917 as inter-association, which was called " Ukrainian Centralna Rada, whose chairman was elected Mihaylo Hrushevsky. The Provisional Government in Petrograd did not share the Ukrainian aspirations to obtain his freedom and was in no hurry to recognize the first conquest of the Ukrainian revolution. Therefore on June 23, 1917 Centrala Rada appealed to the nation with first Universal, which proclaimed autonomous status in Ukraine. There was also reported about the creation of the Ukrainian government - the General Secretariat headed by Volodymyr Vynnychenko. Third Universal proclaimed the establishment of the Ukrainian National Republic. It is necessary to characterize activity of Centralna Rada, paying special attention to the Fourth Universal, adopted January 11, 1918, which proclaimed: "Henceforth Ukrainian National Republic became independent, neither of whom is independent, free, sovereign state of the Ukrainian people." It is advisable to open nation-building activity of the Centralna Rada and the basic provisions of the Constitution of the UNR.
On April 29, 1918 Tillers Congress declared Ukrainian General Pavlo Skoropadskiy as Hetman of Ukraine. Because of almost bloodless coup Centralna Rada was dissolved and the Ukrainian lands got a new formation - Hetmanate Ukrainian State. Certain economic recovery period of Hetmanate based on the restoration of private property, free enterprise support, providing opportunities for industrial and commercial circles significantly influence the economic policy of the government, to promote wider distribution of goods to Austria-Hungary and Germany. At this time, it was established currency, set the state budget, were opened Ukrainian banks based new joint stock company, revived industrial enterprises and exchanges. In November 1918, the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences opened and its first president was famous scientist Volodimir Vernadsky. But the defeat of Germany in the war deprived Hetman support. On December 14, 1918, Skoropadsky was forced to abandon power and soon went abroad to power in Kiev, then Centralna Rada came back to Kiev and created the Directory of the UNR.
But between the leaders of the Directory was no unity. Intransigence between Simon Petliura and Volodymyr Vynnychenko reinforced anarchist elements in the government and greatly influenced the incompleteness and inconsistency of the reform efforts of the Government of the UNR. The political movement of the new regime was not observed sequence. After coming to power in Ukraine Directory was restored the former name of the state, republican form of government, the validity of all laws UNR, although the figures directory had no clear idea about the prospects for state building. It is advisable to show the importance of proclamation of the Act of Unification of UPR with ZUNR (Zahidno-Ukrainska National Republic) (January 22, 1919).
On March 21, 1921, Soviet Russia and Poland signed in Riga the peace treaty, which the Polish received territorial gains, and in exchange, the Soviet government recognized the USSR and pledged to ban stay in its territory of anti-soviet organizations, including government of UNR. This meant the end of the Directory period.
Highlighting the third question, it should be noted that the defeat of the Ukrainian National Republic under the leadership of the Centralna Rada in 1917-1918 had a lot of reasons. The main reason for the defeat was that neither the Ukrainian people, not their leaders were not prepared to fight for the national independence. The Centralna Rada was not able to create the state apparatus, failed to organize a reliable government, local authorities, and most importantly - failed to create the army, which was the direct cause of a lost war against Bolshevik Russia.
