Bukovina ((ルーマニア語、モルドバ語():Bucovina); (ウクライナ語:Буковина) ''Bukovyna''; Hungarian: ''Bukovina''; German and Polish: ''Bukowina''; see also other languages) is a historical region in Central Europe, divided between modern-day Romania and Ukraine, located on the northern slopes of the central Eastern Carpathians and the adjoining plains. Historically part of Moldavia, the territory of what became known as Bukovina was, from 1774 to 1918, an administrative division of the Habsburg Monarchy, the Austrian Empire, and Austria-Hungary. After World War I, Romania established control over Bukovina. In 1940, the northern half of Bukovina was annexed by the Soviet Union, and nowadays is part of Ukraine. == Name == The name ''Bukovina'' came into official use in 1775 with the region's annexation from the Principality of Moldavia to the possessions of the Habsburg Monarchy, which became the Austrian Empire in 1804, and Austria-Hungary in 1867. The official German name of the province under Austrian rule (1775–1918), ''die Bukowina'', was derived from the Polish form ''Bukowina'', which in turn was derived from the common Slavic form of ''buk'', meaning beech tree (''бук'' () as, for example, in Ukrainian or, even, ''Buche'' in German).〔(Encyclopedia of Ukraine )〕〔(Bucovina in Brasov Travel Guide )〕 Another German name for the region, ''das Buchenland'', is mostly used in poetry, and means ''"beech land"'', or ''"the land of beech trees"''. In Romanian, in literary or poetic contexts, the name ''Țara Fagilor'' ("the land of beech trees") is sometimes used. Nowadays, in Ukraine the name is unofficial, but is common when referring to the ''Chernivtsi Oblast'' as over ⅔ of the oblast is the northern part of Bukovina. In Romania the term ''Northern Bucovina'' is sometimes synonymous with the entire Chernivtsi Oblast of Ukraine, and ''(Southern) Bucovina'' to Suceava County of Romania (although 30% of the present day Suceava County covers territory outside of the historical Bukovina.) In English, an alternative form is ''The Bukovina'', increasingly an archaism, which, however, is found in older literature. 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「Bukovina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
