Bukovina is a historical region in Central Europe, currently divided between Ukraine and Romania, located on the northern slopes of the central Eastern Carpathians and the adjoining plains.
Historically part of Moldavia, the territory of what became known as Bukovina was, from 1775 to 1918, an administrative division of the Habsburg Monarchy, the Austrian Empire, and Austria–Hungary. After World War I, Romania established control over Bukovina. In 1940, as a result of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, the northern half of Bukovina was annexed by the Soviet Union.
