landscape within the oblast.

Zakarpattia Oblast mostly consists of mountains and small hills covered with deciduous and pinophyta forests, as well as alpine meadows. Mountains cover about 80% of the oblast's area, and cross from North-East to South-East. The Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians, part of which are located within Zakarpattia Oblast, were recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.

The largest rivers that flow through the oblast include the Tisza, Borzhava River, and the Tereblia River. The region's climate is moderete continental climate with about 700-1000 millimetres of rainfall per year. The average temperature in summer is +21Celsius (70Fahrenheit) and -4°С (25°F) in winter.

With a total height of 2,061 metres, Hoverla, part of the Chornohora mountain range, is the tallest point in the oblast. The lowest point, 101 metres above sea level, is located in the village of Ruski Heyevtsi in the Uzhhorodskyi Raion.

History Zakarpattia was part of Austria-Hungary until the latter's demise at the end of World War I. This region was briefly part of the short-lived West Ukrainian National Republic in 1918 and occupied by Romania at end of that year. It was later recaptured by Hungary in the summer of 1919. Finally, it joined the newly formed Czechoslovakia as Subcarpathian Rus, of which it formed one of the four main regions, the others being Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia.

(1918).

During the World War II Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia, the southern part of the region was awarded to Hungary under the First Vienna Award in 1938. The remaining portion was constituted as an autonomous region of the short-lived German occupation of Czechoslovakia. After the occupation of Bohemia and Moravia on March 15, 1939 and the Slovak declaration of an Slovak Republic (1939-1945), Ruthenia declared its independence (Carpatho-Ukraine) but it was immediately occupied and later annexed by Hungary.Subtelny, p. 458

in 1939.

During the German occupation of Hungary in 1944, almost the entire Jewish population was deported; few survived the Holocaust. When the Red Army crossed the pre-1938 borders of Czechoslovakia in 1944, Soviet authorities refused to allow Czechoslovak governmental officials to resume control over the region, and in June 1945, President Edvard Beneš formally signed a treaty ceding the area to the Soviet Union. It was then incorporated into the Ukrainian SSR. After the break-up of the Soviet Union, it became part of independent Ukraine as Zakarpattia Oblast.

The province has a unique footnote in history as the only region in the former Soviet Union to have had an American governor: its first governor was Gregory Zatkovich, an American citizen who had earlier emigrated from the region and represented the Ruthenian community in the U.S. Zatkovich was appointed governor by Czechoslovakia's first president, Tomáš Masaryk, in 1920 and served for about one year until he resigned over differences regarding the region's autonomy.

After the History of the Soviet Union (1985–1991), there were ideas of separating from Ukraine to rejoin Czechoslovakia,Subtelny, p. 578 however, after Dissolution of Czechoslovakia into the Czech Republic and Slovakia on January 1, 1993, these ideas have been rendered largely moot.
