| | | | | Galicia (Central Europe): Encyclopedia II - Bukovina - Demographic history According to the 1775 Austrian census, the Romanian population made up about 86% of the 60,000 total population of Bukovina. During the 19th century, however, the Austrian Empire policies encouraged the influx of many immigrants such as Germans, Poles, Jews, Hungarians, Romanians and Ruthenian from Galicia (Central Europe).
Despite this influx, Romanians continued to be the largest ethnic group in the province, until 1880 when Ruthenians(Ukrainians) outnumbered the Romanians 5:4. According to the 1880 census there were 239,690 Rutheni ...

| | | | | Galicia (Central Europe): Encyclopedia II - Ruthenia - Late Middle Ages By the 14th century, the state of Rus had disintegrated into loosely united principalities. Vladimir-Suzdal and the Novgorod Republic in the north fell under Mongol influence. Later, one of the daughter-principalities of Vladimir-Suzdal, the Moscow principality took control of most of the northern principalities of Rus, and continued the use of the word, "Rus'," to cover the expanded state. Being an Orthodox Christian country, it had few contacts with the Pope and therefore did rarely use the term Ruthenia. Natives used other forms of the name Rus derivatives of word Rus for their country, and some of th ...

| | | | | Galicia (Central Europe): Encyclopedia II - Galicia Central Europe - Origin and variations of the name The name Galicia et Lodomeria was first used in the 13th century by King Andrew II of Hungary. It was a Latinized version of the Slavic names Halych and Volodymyr, the major cities of the Ukrainian or Ruthenian principality of Halych-Volhynia, which was under Hungarian rule at the time.
The origin of the Ukrainian name Halych (Halicz in Polish, Galich in Russian, Galic in Latin) is uncertain. Some historians believe it has to do with people of Celtic origin settled nearby, and is related to many similar pla ...

| | | | | Galicia (Central Europe): Encyclopedia II - Galicia Central Europe - Constitutional experiments In 1859, following Austrian military defeat in Italy, the Empire entered a period of constitutional experiments. In 1860, the Vienna Government, influenced by Agenor Goluchowski, issued its October Diploma, which envisioned a conservative federalization of the empire, but a negative reaction in the German-speaking lands led to changes in government and the issuing of the February Patent which watered down this de-centralization. Nevertheless, by 1861, Galicia was granted a Legislative Assembly or Sejm. Although at first pro-Habsburg R ...

| | | | | Galicia (Central Europe): Encyclopedia II - Galicia Central Europe - The Great Economic Emigration Beginning in the 1880s, a mass emigration of the Galician peasantry occurred. The emigration started as a seasonal one to Germany (newly unified and economically dynamic) and then later became a Trans-Atlantic one with large-scale emigration to The United States, Brazil, and Canada.
Caused by the backward economic condition of Galicia where rural poverty was widespread (See "Economy" below), the emigration began in the western, Polish populated part of Galicia and quickly shifted east to the Ukrainian inhabited parts. Poles, Ukrainian ...

| | | | | Galicia (Central Europe): Encyclopedia II - Ruthenia - Modern age
Ruthenia - Belarusians.
The Belarusians often called themselves "Litvins" because they lived in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and the name "Ruthenians" was not always applied to them.
A notable exception occurred shortly after World War II, in relation to Belarusians from the Kresy region of pre-WWII Poland who found themselves in displaced persons camps in the Western occupation zones of the post-war Germany. At that time the notion of a Belarusian nation met with little recognition in the West. Therefore ...

| | | | | Galicia (Central Europe): Encyclopedia II - Galicia Central Europe - Economy Despite being one of the most populous regions in Europe, Galicia was also one of the least developed economically. The first detailed description of the economic situation of the region was prepared by Stanislaw Szczepanowski (1846–1900), a Polish lawyer, economist and chemist who in 1873 published the first version of his report titled Nędza galicyjska w cyfrach (The Galician Poverty in Numbers). Based on his own experience as a worker in the India Office, as well as his work on development of the oil industry in the regio ...

| | | | | Galicia (Central Europe): Encyclopedia II - Bukovina - Name The name Bukovina came into official use in 1775 with the region's annexation to the Austrian Habsburg possessions, later known as the Austrian Empire, and Austria-Hungary. The name has a Slavic origin and is derived from the word for beech tree (бук [buk] in Ukrainian); the German equivalent, das Buchenland, mostly used in poetry, means, literally, "beech land", or, more poetically, "land of beech trees".
In Romanian the original name of the region during the rule of the Moldavian Principality was "Ţara de Sus" (Upper Country), referring to the altitude, as opposed to the lower plains calle ...
