Lviv became part of Ukraine when taken by the Ukrainians from [[Austria]] in November 1918 with the creation of the West-Ukrainian People’s Republic and the unification with Great Ukraine. But Lviv became Polish from 1919 to 1939 and Polish culture via immigration put a Polish stamp forever on Lviv that remains strong today. In September 1939, as a result of [[collusion]] between [[Stalin]] and [[Nazi Germany]], Lviv became a part of the [[Soviet]] empire and with Ukraine being a USSR member republic it was returned to Ukraine under the terms of the [[Molotov-Ribbentrop pact]].
