Re: [Cz-L] Austria

Dear David,

Czernowitz is situated in the former province of Bukovina*.

>From 1775 to 1918, Bukovina was an administrative division of the
Habsburg Monarchy, the Austrian Empire, and Austria-Hungary.
After World War I, Bukovina became part of Romania. In 1940,
as a result of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the northern half of
Bukovina was annexed by the Soviet Union.

*Bukowina translated means 'the land of the beech trees'.
