Abstract
The article analyzes the Ukrainian-Romanian relations and the position of the victorious countries in the First World War concerning the issue of allegiance of Bukovyna. The Ukrainians who lived compactly in the northern part of the country made up the largest ethnic group of the region. The Romanians ranked second in number. In November 1918, the Ukrainians proclaimed their power in the northern part of the country and became a part of the ZUNR (Western Ukrainian People’s Republic). However, in a few days, the Romanian troops occupied all territory of Bukovyna. A sharp diplomatic struggle unfolded around the allegiance of Bukovyna. The issue was raised at the Paris Peace Conference. Despite the demands of the Ukrainian population, the victorious countries neglected the right of the Ukrainians to self-determination and left Bukovina as part of Romania.
