Question: Kresy was composed of several voivodeships, and when the Second Polish Republic lost Wilno, which present-day city did it contain?

The Wilno Voivodeship (Polish: "województwo wileńskie" ) was one of 16 Voivodeships in the Second Polish Republic, with the capital in Wilno (now Vilnius, Lithuania).  It was created in 1926 and populated predominantly by Poles with notable minorities of Belarusians, Jews and Lithuanians. <SEP> 1937 peasant strike in Poland, also known in some Polish sources as the Great Peasant Uprising (Polish: "Wielki Strajk Chłopski" ) was a mass strike and demonstration of peasants organized by the People's Party and aimed at the ruling "sanacja" government.  It was the largest political protest in the Second Polish Republic, taking place in 12 voivodeships of the Second Polish Republic.  It is estimated that several million peasants took part in the demonstrations, and the strike was supported not only by Polish peasants, but also by the Ukrainian and Belarusian farmers, who made a majority in eastern part of the Second Polish Republic. <SEP> Kresy Wschodnie or Kresy (] , Eastern Borderlands, or Borderlands) was a region of the Second Polish Republic during the interwar period constituting nearly half of the territory of the state; where the ethnic Poles, being the largest group, were roughly equal in their number to the size of the national minorities (with notable exceptions).  Administratively, the territory of Kresy was composed of voivodeships of Lwów, Nowogródek, Polesie, Stanisławów, Tarnopol, Wilno, Wołyń, and the Białystok.  Today, these territories are divided between Western Ukraine, Western Belarus, and south-eastern Lithuania, with such major cities as Lviv, Vilnius, and Grodno no longer in Poland.  In the Second Polish Republic the term "Kresy" roughly equated with the lands beyond the so-called Curzon Line, which was suggested after World War I in December 1919 by the British Foreign Office as the eastern border of the re-emerging sovereign Republic following the century of partitions.  In September 1939, after the Soviet Union joined Nazi Germany in their attack on Poland in accordance with the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, the territories were incorporated into Soviet Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania in the atmosphere of terror. <SEP> In the Second Polish Republic, there was not a national, Second Division, as we know it today, although the creation of the second division was proposed on several occasions.  On Sunday, September 26, 1937 in Częstochowa, a conference of regional teams from across the nation took place, to discuss the creation of the league.  Officials of several clubs arrived, such as Brygada Częstochowa, Gryf Toruń, Śmigły Wilno, Rewera Stanisławów, Dąb Katowice, Unia Sosnowiec, Strzelec Janowa Dolina, and WKS Grodno.  Also, invited were officials of HCP Poznań, Podgorze Kraków, Naprzód Lipiny and Union Touring Łódź, but for unknown reasons they did not show up.  The officials talked about creation of a National "B-League", but nothing came out of this project.  Instead, in the years 1921-1939, several Voivodeships held their own games and those leagues were known as "A-Classes".  In 1927, the elite Polish Football League was created, which by the late 1930s consisted of 10 teams.  The teams that did not make it to the Ekstraklasa, played in the "A-Classes".
