Voivodeships Of Poland (1975–1998)
The voivodeships of Poland from 1975 to 1998 were created as part of a two-tier method for administering the country and its regions. Between June 1, 1975, and December 31, 1998, pursuant to a law proclaimed on May 28, 1975, Poland was administratively divided into 49 voivodeships, consolidating and eliminating the intermediate administrative level of counties. The scheme meant that most voivodeships had fewer than 1,000,000 inhabitants. Each voivodeship took its name from a small- or medium-sized town situated near its centre, which would become its capital.

Through administrative reorganization and the new territorial division, Gierek was able to nominate his supporte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
