| - Podolia has had human inhabitants since at least the beginning of the Neolithic period. By the tenth century, the area had come under the rule of the Kievan Rus, and later the Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia. In the 13th century, the Mongols plundered the area. Lithuania, freeing it from their rule following their victory at the Battle of Blue Waters of 1362, annexed it to their territories. Polish colonization began in the 14th century. Most of Poldolia became part of Poland in 1430, with the exception of its eastern part, which remained in Lithuania until its union with Poland in 1569. Apart from an Ottoman occupation, the Poles retained Podolia until the partitions of their country in 1772 and 1793, when the Habsburg Monarchy of Austria and Imperial Russia annexed the western and eastern parts respectively. With the collapse of Austria-Hungary following World War I in November 1918, western Podolia was included in the West Ukrainian People's Republic, but came under Polish control in 1919, staying there despite being briefly occupied in 1920 by the Soviets during the course of the Polish-Soviet War. Rebellions against the Soviets during 1927 in the area caused many deaths. In 1939 after the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union and the Soviet invasion of Poland on September 17, 1939, the area became part of Soviet Ukraine. Many local inhabitants were deported to concentration camps. It was occupied by Germany and Romania after 1941, resulting most of the large Jewish population being killed off. In 1944 the Soviets regained Podolia and in 1945, when Poland’s eastern border was formally realigned along the Curzon line, the whole of Podolia remained in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. Most remaining Poles and Jews fled or were expelled to the People's Republic of Poland.
