This article covers the changing administration of the territories of former territories of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth acquired after three partitions of Poland in the late 18th century by the Austrian Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia and the Russian Empire in the period 1772-1918. These changes were further complicated by the changes within those states and periodic recreations of some form of Polish state itself. It does not cover the administrative divisions of two main Polish states of the 19th century - administrative division of Duchy of Warsaw (1807–1815) and administrative division of Congress Poland (1815–1918). For the administrative division of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth before its final third partition, see administrative division of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. For administrative divisions of the states that partitioned Poland, covering their entire administrative division, see: * for Prussia, Provinces of Prussia; * for Russia, History of the administrative division of Russia. ==Austrian partition== The Austrian Empire (known from second half of the 19th century as the Austro-Hungarian Empire) acquired Polish territories in the First (1772) and Third (1795) partitions of Poland divided the former territories of the Commonwealth it obtained into: *Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria - from 1772 to 1918. *New Galicia - from 1795 to 1809 *Free City of Kraków - from 1815 to 1846, later the Grand Duchy of Cracow Two important and major cities of the Austrian partition were Kraków (Cracow) and Lwów (Lviv). In the first partition, Austria had received the largest share of formerly Polish population, and second largest land share (83,000 km² and over 2.65 million people). Austria had not participated in the second partition, and in the third, it had received 47,000 km² with 1.2 million people. Overall, Austria had gained about 18 percent of the former Commonwealth territory (130,000 km²) and about 32 percent of the population (3.85 million people).〔Piotr Stefan Wandycz, ''The Price of Freedom: A History of East Central Europe from the Middle Ages to the Present'', Routledge (UK), 2001, ISBN 0-415-25491-4, (Google Print, p.133 )〕 From the geographical perspective, much of the Austrian partition corresponded to the Galicia region. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Administrative division of Polish–Lithuanian territories after partitions」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
