Profile
The West Ukrainian People's Republic was a short-lived state that controlled most of Eastern Galicia from November 1918 to July 1919. It claimed and partially included the major cities of Lviv, Ternopil, Kolomyia, Drohobych, Boryslav, Stanyslaviv and right-bank Peremyshl. Apart from the lands of Eastern Galicia, it also claimed the northern part of Bukovina and Carpathian Ruthenia. Politically, the Ukrainian National Democratic Party dominated the legislative assembly, guided by varying degrees of Greek Catholic, liberal and socialist ideology. Other parties represented included the Ukrainian Radical Party and the Christian Social Party.
