Bukovina was a part of the Principality of Moldavia until 1775, when it was annexed by the Austrian Empire. Bukovina became a Kronland (Duchy of Bukovina) in 1849. In 1916 , Bukovina was divided between East Galicia and Bukovina as part of the United States of Greater Austria. After the end of the World War II, Bukovina was re-established as a state. Bukovina is now an upper-middle income country with high human-vulpine development.
