INDEX

[N19626] The Wilno Voivodeship (Polish: województwo wileńskie) was one of 16 Voivodeships in the Second Polish Republic, with the capital in Wilno (now Vilnius, Lithuania). It was created in 1926 and populated predominantly by Poles with notable minorities of Belarusians, Jews and Lithuanians. Wilno Voivodeship total area was 29,011 square kilometers, with the population of 1.276 million. Following the German and Soviet invasion of Poland and the reshaping of Europe, Poland's borders were redrawn at the insistence of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin at the Tehran Conference, and Wilno Voivodeship was incorporated in parts into the Lithuanian and Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republics. The Polish population was forcibly resettled at the end of World War II. Since 1991, the former territory of the voivodeship is split between sovereign Lithuania and sovereign Belarus.
