ROMANIAN OCCUPATION OF POKUTTYA IN 1919

Summary/Abstract: The article pictures the activity of the Romanian troops in Pokuttya in 1919 in the light of the Polish press: “Gazeta Lwowska” and “Goniec Krakowski”. Romanian troops occupied six districts: Kolomyia, Horodenka, Sniatyn, Pechenizhyn, and Kosiv together with the majority of the county to Otynia. In counties where Poles managed to organize their own governments, Romanians left it unchanged, while in two they approved the authorities of Ruthenians. The cooperation between the Poles and Romanians at the time of entering the latter on the Pokuttya was not always arranged, due to small negligence on both sides. Talks brought the expected outcome as a result of which a contract was signed between Poland and Romania, which provided for the evacuation of Romanian troops from Pokuttya from 17th August.
