Bukovina

Bukovina is a historical region on the north-eastern slopes of the Carpathians, divided today between Romania and Ukraine. Part of the Principality of Moldavia, it was annexed by the Habsburg monarchy in 1775 and became a separate crown land in 1849, with its capital at Czernowitz. It joined Romania in 1918 and was split in 1940, when the Soviet Union annexed the north.
