RE: [Cz-L] tourist guide

Hi,Iosif, I knew that there were competing committees and that the Ukrainian
one wanted to join the Western Ukrainian Peoples Republic....but the other
committee did not agree and no government as such took over.Hence the
involvement of the remnants of the 41st.Proclamations are one thing,a
functioning government with agreement of at least a very large part of the
population and things like an active police force etc is something else.This
is the basis of the Ukrainian claim....but I suspect if one finds the
records of the Romanian Committee they would say something different.

Cornel,

in the last week of October 1918 Austro-Hungary effectively ceased to
exist. Between October 25 and November 6, new independent states
appeared on its entire territory. In Czernowitz two competing
quasi-governments were created on October 25 (Ukrainian) and on
October 27 (Romanian). Both claimed the power in the region. On
November 6 the last Landespraezident, Graf von Ezdorf officially
transferred the power to the Ukrainian and Romanian committees (see
the Protocol - http://cv.archives.gov.ua/i/2213831.jpg). Ukrainians
immediately announced that Bukovina is joining Western Ukrainian
People's Republic. On November 11 Romanian troops entered Czernowitz.
So,for at least 6 days there was a Ukrainian government in Czernowitz.
Some of the Ukrainian government proclamations can be seen here:
