[[Image:Bukovina Districts 1910.jpg|thumb|right|200px]] '''Bukovina''' (Bukowina) is an historical region on the northern slopes of the northeastern Carpathian Mountains and the adjoining plains. It is currently split between Romania and Ukraine. 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 Austrian Empire in 1804, and Austria-Hungary in 1867. Nowadays in Ukraine the name is unofficial, but is common when referring to the Chernivtsi Oblast as over 2/3 of the oblast is the northern part of Bukovina. In Romania the term Northern Bucovina is sometimes synonymous to the entire Chernivtsi Oblast of Ukraine, and (Southern) Bucovina to Suceava County of Romania. | [[Image:Bukovina Districts 1910.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Bukovina Districts 1910.jpg]] '''Bukovina''' (Bukowina) is an historical region on the northern slopes of the northeastern Carpathian Mountains and the adjoining plains.
