01 November - Western Ukraine separates from Austria-Hungary

 


Western Ukraine experience significant political changes in the early 20th century, including its separation from Austria-Hungary. On November 1, 1918, the Western Ukrainian People's Republic was declared. This marked a period of transition and the beginning of efforts to establish an independent Ukrainian state in the western part of Ukraine, which had been under Austrian rule.

The Western Ukrainian People's Republic was short-lived and faced numerous challenges, including conflicts with various neighboring states and the turmoil of World War I. Later developments led to the union of Western Ukraine with the Ukrainian People's Republic, which had declared its independence from the Russian Empire in 1917, and eventually the formation of the West Ukrainian National Republic.

These political changes were part of the broader historical context of the dissolution of empires in Eastern Europe during and after World War I, which ultimately contributed to the formation of the modern state of Ukraine.
