Join us as we explore the rich history of the Crimea. From the Greeks and Byzantines to the Ottomans, empires have controlled this land. Catherine the Great took Crimea from the Ottomans in the 18th century, and it was later transferred to Ukraine in 1954. A 1997 treaty allowed Russia to base its fleet in Sevastopol. In 2014, protests and a controversial referendum led to Crimea's declaration of independence and subsequent annexation by Russia. Discover the complexities and geopolitical implications of this region's history. #tvpworld Watch more on our main channel - Bringing you all the latest daily news and updates, TVP World is Poland's first English-language channel where you can find world news as seen from the Polish perspective and the latest news from the CEE region.
