Ukrainian Rebellion

The Ukrainian Rebellion was a failed rebellion in the Reichskommissariat Ukraine and Transinistria Governorate between the Greater Germanic Reich and Kingdom of Romania against Ukrainian rebels. The Ukrainian rebels consisted of the Ultranationalist and Fascist forces in the Ukraine Insurgent Army (UIA), the Communist forces of the Ukrainian People's Republic, and the broad tent of the Ukrainian Republic which consisted primarily of socialists, liberals and conservatives.
Despite an initial strong showing by the Ukrainian rebels, infighting among their various factions quickly became a regular occurrence. In particular the Ukraine Insurgent Army, who had previously collaborated to a degree with the Germans in the German-Soviet War, came into conflict with their ideological opponents - the Communists. This infighting led to the Germans being able to quickly regain control of the situation, and the UIA once again collaborating with the Germans against their Communist enemies.
It's estimated that around 1.6 million Ukrainian civilians died during the rebellion, as well as some 250,000 rebel fighters. The German and Dutch settlers who inhabited the Reichskommissariat suffered casualties during the rebellion also, with the worst coming from the Ukrainian Communists.

Following the failure of the rebellion, the Germans came to believe that the Ukrainians were still too rebellious. Mass deportations of the Ukrainian population from the western regions including Wolhynien und Podolien and Shitomir began, with many being forced either to the eastern edges of the Reichskommissariat, or being moved northwards into Moskowien.
