Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia

Where it sits in time

Five thousand years, 3000 BCE to 2026; the state in gold, what it replaced or followed and what replaced or followed it in grey.

Before and after

The states the record files it as replacing or following, and those that replaced or followed it - Wikidata's own statements, each read from this state's side.

Rulers

Read from the state’s own English article and its rulers’ articles, where Wikidata names no ruler.

3 rulers, 3 with terms dated as terms, covering 1199 – 1349. Median reign 6 years. 0 of 2 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

Ground held, by year

km² inside its borders as the borders dataset draws them, measured on an equal-area grid; a step series, held between the years the dataset maps.

407,000 km² in 1199, 82,600 km² in 1349; at its largest 520,700 km² in 1239. Cliopatria, CC BY 4.0.

Flag or arms

Each symbol with the years its own statement gives; the timeline flies the one of the year on screen.

What happened within it, by century

Every row the atlas hosts under this state, by the century it began in: wars and battles in red, risings, regime changes and massacres beside them, everything else in grey. A tall bar is a century the record is full for, which is partly a fact about Wikipedia.

Among all states

Each measure against the states that carry it, never against all of them: a bar is the share of those states below this one.

• How long it stood150 years

  stood longer than 55% of 3,187 states with a recorded end or still standing.

• The most ground it held594,700 km²

  held more ground at its peak than 77% of 1,465 states with a border in Cliopatria.

• Wars recorded per centurynone

  had more wars on record per century than 44% of 3,187 states, counting the wars the atlas hosts under each.

• How long a reign lasted, at the median6 years

  had longer reigns, at the median, than 22% of 967 states whose dated line can carry a median.

• Rulers on record3

  has more rulers on record than 48% of 1,968 states with a line of rulers.

What led to it, and what came of it

The investigation's own picture: 7 causes the record names and 0 results, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.

Open the investigation: every row with its evidence, the conditions at the time, the theories condition by condition, and the succession analysed.

Theories that apply to its ending

Of 3 theories of why states fall, 1 has every condition present at this ending and 1 some of them; each is applied by its own logic, condition by condition, and whether its authors named this case is a footnote.

• Dynastic cycle and the decay of group feeling

  Ibn Khaldun 1377 · Turchin & Nefedov 2009

  Applies by its own logic: the condition it names held here, and this is the kind of outcome it predicts — adverse regime change or the state's ending.
