Cooperation as a rescue from economic oppression originated from the late 19th century and was interrupted by the war in 1914. The loss of military actions is supported by figures of that time period. Galicia has lost a lot of seeding areas of land, farm equipment was destroyed. Unstable financial position of Poland, to which belonged then the Eastern Galicia, currency fluctuations, devaluation of its currency, colonial oppression, practically not existing economy led to the catastrophic state of the living standards of Ukrainian peasants. Farmers were forced to rally in the collective production, and this was led by Ukrainian cooperation. Ukrainian banks were established to provide cheap credit to farmers, cooperatives of various types were formed. This created new jobs, gradually Ukrainians life was improved, but the administrative chaos of the Polish government did not give proper development of Ukrainian cooperation.
