But then the american civil war wasn't a civil war either since neither
part had lived there before the other.
And yes you are correct, Russia expanded to the east and south (and north
and west but not as much) but that was so very long ago.
The chances that Russia would let them be free are zero since (in order):
1. The rebels also opperated outside the borders
2. There's oil in the area
3. Many other parts (Russia is a federation) would also try to break free
(remember that it was the three Baltic states that was first out from the
USSR and soon all the others followed). Kaliningrad for instance would
probably be one of the first to leave (located just north of Poland without
any border to the rest of Russia).
I think I'll agree with Bart Simpson on this:
"In wars there are no winners only loosers except" (that was from my head)
"the American Revolution, World War II and the Star Wars trilogy" (that's
from "Empire" magazine which had a number dedicated to SW which I of course
bought)
