About Bucovina Country

Bukovina (Romanian: Bucovina; Ukrainian: ????????/Bukovyna; German and Polish: Bukowina; see also other languages) is a historical region on the northern slopes of the northeastern Carpathian Mountains and the adjoining plains. It is currently split between Romania and Ukraine.

The name Bukovina came into official use in 1775 with the region's annexation from the Principality of Moldavia to the possessions of the Habsburg Monarchy, which became Austrian Empire in 1804, and Austria-Hungary in 1867.

The official German name, die Bukowina, of the province under Austrian rule (1775–1918), was derived from the Polish form Bukowina, which in turn comes from the common Slavic form Bukowina, which stands for beech tree (??? [buk] as, for example, in Ukrainian or, even, Buch in German).[1] Another German name for the region, das Buchenland, is mostly used in poetry, and means "beech land", or "the land of beech trees".

During the Middle Ages, the region was the northwestern third of "Tara de Sus" (Upper Country in Romanian) part of the Moldavian Principality, as opposed to "Tara de Jos" (Lower Country). The region has become the cradle of the Moldavian Principality, and remained its political center until 1574, when its capital was moved from Suceava to Iasi.

Nowadays in Ukraine the name is unofficial, but is common when referring to the Chernivtsi Oblast as over 2/3 of Oblast is the northern part of Bukovina. In Romania the term Northern Bucovina is sometimes synonymous to the entire Chernivtsi Oblast of Ukraine, and (Southern) Bucovina to Suceava County of Romania. (Note: Currently 10% of the Suceava County covers territory outside of the historical Bukovina.)

In English, an alternate form is The Bukovina, increasingly an archaism, which, however, is found in older literature.
