Wołyń Voivodeship (1921–1939)

Wołyń Voivodeship (Polish: Województwo wołyńskie, Ukrainian: Волинське воєводство, romanized: volinske voyevodstvo) or Wołyń Province was an administrative region of interwarPoland (1918–1939) with an area of 35,754 km, 22 cities, and provincial capital in Łuck.
The province was divided into 11 counties (powiaty). The area comprised part of the historical region of Volhynia.
At the end of World War II, at the insistence of Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Union during the 1943 Tehran Conference, Poland's borders were redrawn by the Allies. The province's Polish population was forcibly resettled westward; and the province's territory was incorporated into the Soviet Union's Ukrainian SSR.
Since 1991 it has been divided between sovereign Ukraine's Rivne and Volyn Oblasts.
