Wars of independence in Europe in the early part of the 20th Century

[daft]

There were many Wars of Independence and other conflicts in the early part of twentieth century. Specifically interested in time period between 1901 and before the start of WWII. Hoping to find out more about these conflicts, their causes, specifics and outcomes.
There was the Greco-Turkish war, Baltic state's wars of independence, the war between Poland and the newly formed Soviet Union, just to name a few.
This thread is not restricted to European(only) Conflicts of the Early Part of the Twentieth Century.

Conflicts of 1918 - 1921 are collectively called in Polish historiography "War For Preserving Independence And Shaping the Borders of Poland".

It included the Polish-Ukrainian war (01.11.1918 - 17.07.1919), the Greater Poland uprising (27.12.1918 - 16.02.1919), the Polish-Soviet war (ca. 05.01.1919 - 18.10.1920), the Polish-Czechoslovak war (23.01. - 25.02.1919), the Silesian uprisings (16-24.08.1919; 19-25.08.1920; 02.05. - 05.07.1921).

And Polish-Lithuanian border conflicts in 1919 and 1920 (including the Sejny uprising in August 1919 and conflicts for the Wilno region).

Also various other minor clashes (including those between the Germany army withdrawing from Russia and local self-defence units).

The Polish-Soviet war officially ended with the treaty of Riga on 18 March 1921, but actual ceasefire was since 18 October.

Baltic state's wars of independence

Latvia proclaimed independence on November 18 1918, but soon after that - in December - it got invaded by the Soviets, who quickly captured almost entire country with the exception of Riga and the area of Liepaja. Riga finally fell to Soviet forces after a long siege on 4 April 1919, Liepaja kept fighting.

Latvia was liberated from Soviet occupation in 1920 by the Polish army, with help of remnants of Latvian forces.

The Irish War of Independence deserves some attention, and you could arguably look at the several abortive attempts to form an independent Catalan Republic.

There's a tendency to frame the early twentieth century independence movements as something "Eastern", as something narrowly tied up with the crumbling of the old autocracies, because the basic good health of Western European states and the basic ill-health of Central and Eastern European states became part of interwar and especially Cold War ideology in Western Europe and the USA, but it's basically untrue. Ireland, in particular, is overlooked to an almost laughable degree; maps of Britain suddenly loose 20% of their area in 1922 and it's just passed over as if nothing happened, because the idea that Great Britain could experience the same convulsions and humiliations we associate with a Hapsburg or Ottoman Empire is too much for a lot of us to stomach.
