From late 18th century to 1919 GALICIA PROVINCE was administered by ethnic Poles for the AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN EMPIRE.From 1919-1939 Galicia came under Reconstituted
Poland's domain.Technically Poland had not existed as a geopolitical entity for the previous 125 yrs.Post WW2 EASTERN Galicia (what is Ukraine today) became a part of
SSR Ukraine, under Soviet domain until 1991 when Ukraine became independent. Western Galicia remained a part of Poland.
