The Tarnopol Voivodeship was an administrative unit of the Second Polish Republic in the years 1921-1939 , which was created on September 1, 1921 when the formerly Austrian part of Poland , Galicia , was divided into the Voivodeships of Lviv , Cracow , Stanislau and Tarnopol. The seat of the administration and the capital was Tarnopol (today Ternopil in Ukrainian ).
location and size
