Illyrian Provinces

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Illyrian Provinces

Former territory, Dalmatian coast of Europe. When the French victory in 1809 compelled Austria to cede part of its southern Slav lands to France, Napoleon combined Carniola, West Carinthia, Görz, Istria, and parts of Croatia, Dalmatia, and Ragusa to form the Illyrian Provinces, which he incorporated into his empire. The end of the French administration in 1814 returned them to the Austrian Empire.
