What I said is a metaphor.

Hitler accused Czechoslovakians of opressing Germans in Sudetenland (Even though there is no real proof of such, only Sudeten Germans wanted autonomy to align themselves with Nazi Germany under Heinlen, and their demands became increasingly aggressive). Putin accused Ukrainians of oppressing Russians in Crimea as well (Not gonna get into detail so I won't start a debate over this, but pretty much replace Germany with Russia and Sudeten Germans with Crimean Russians).

Hitler also wanted Sudetenland for it's strategic location in mountainous terrain and several ore deposits, Putin wanted Crimea for it's strategic location and access to the Black Sea (not to mention displacing the Ukrainian Navy).

I could say more comparisons (Like Great Reccession = Great Depression), but we can all say for certain that History is surely repeating itself.
