Pokucie is a historical area of Central Europe, between upper Prut and Cheremosh rivers, in modern Ukraine. Historically it was a culturally-distinct area inhabitated by Vallachians and Ruthenians on the previously-unpopulated borderlands between the lands of Lwów and Halicz. In early 16th century the area was disputed by both Poland and Moldavia, with the earlier state actually controlling it. In 1530 it was conquered hospodar of Vallachia, but the following year, after the Battle of Obertyn, it was recaptured by Poland.
In the effect of the Partitions of Poland of 1772 it was annexed by Austria. In the effect of the World War II and the fall of Austria-Hungary, it became disputed between Poland and Western Ukrainian National Republic. However, during the Polish-Ukrainian War it was seized without the fight by forces of Romania and handed over to Polish authorities. After the Polish-Bolshevik War it remained in Poland. In the effect of the Polish Defensive War and the Nazi-Soviet Alliance it was occupied by the Soviet Union. After the war it was annexed to the Ukrainian SSR. Since 1919 part of Ukraine.
