Galicia, Historical region between southern Poland and western Ukraine.
This region extends over 78,000 square kilometers across two modern countries, with its eastern part centered around Lviv and western part around Krakow.
The territory became a province of the Austrian Empire in 1772 following the first partition of Poland and remained under Habsburg control until 1918.
The population included Polish, Ukrainian, and Jewish communities, each maintaining their languages, religions, and customs throughout the nineteenth century.
The fertile soil of the northern Carpathian region supported agriculture, while the discovery of petroleum deposits near Drohobych generated industrial development.
Between 1772 and 1918, the region functioned as a buffer zone between three empires: Russian to the east, Ottoman to the south, and Austrian to the west.
