Lithuania (Lietuva)
Overview.
In the 13th century the Lithuanian tribes united under Mindovg / Mindaugas (+1263).
In the 14th century, Gedimin / Gediminas (+1341) formed a strong Lithuanian state and extended its frontiers annexing Black Russia.
Olgerd, Gedimin's son, continued his father's expansionist policies and, by conquering vast Russian territories, stretched his domain from the Baltic to the Black Sea.
Influenced greatly by their Russian subjects, the Lithuanians not only reorganized their army, government administration, and legal and financial systems on Russian models but also allowed the Russian nobility to retain its Orthodox religion, its privileges, and its local authority.
In 1386, under pressure from the hostile Teutonic Knights, Jogaila (+1434), Grand Duke of Lithuania, concluded a pact with Poland (the Union of Krewo), agreeing to accept the Roman Catholic faith, marry the Polish queen, become King of Poland, and unite Poland and Lithuania under a single ruler. Jogaila took the Polish name Vladislas II. Polish influence subsequently began to replace Russian influence in Lithuania.
Despite the provisions of the Union of Krewo, the Lithuanian state retained its autonomy in the form of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
During the reign of Vitovt (+1430) Lithuania became the most powerful state in the Eastern Europe.
Since 1447, when Casimir, Grand Duke of Lithuania, was chosen as King of Poland, the Poles elected the Lithuanian Grand Dukes as their Kings to preserve the union of the countries.
In 1569, during the reign of Sigismund Augustus (+1572), the last King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from the House of Gedimin, the Poles and Lithuanians concluded pact (the Union of Lublin) that united the two countries into a single, federated state, which was to be ruled by a single, jointly selected sovereign. Formally, Poland and Lithuania were to be distinct, equal components of the federation, each retaining its own army, treasury, civil administration, and laws; the two nations agreed to cooperate with each other on foreign policy and to participate in a joint Diet. Nevertheless, Poland had greater representation in the Diet and became the dominant partner.
In 1795 Austria, Russia and Prussia partitioned the Polish-Lithuanian state. The Russian Empire annexed the biggest part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and the Russian Emperors accepted the title of Grand Duke of Lithuania.
In 1918, Germany, which occupied the Lithuania lands during the World War I, created the Kingdom of Lithuania. In November 1918, after the defeat of Germany, the independent Republic of Lithuania replaced the Kingdom.
Notes:
1. In the Middle Ages the Russian language (or its Western dialects, which would develop in the modern Belorussian and Ukrainian) was an official language of the Lithuanian state. Since the Union of Krewo with Poland (1386), Latin and then Polish became other official languages.
2. The Russian term “Великий Князь” is translated as "Grand Prince", in Latin it was "Magnus Dux" and is translated as "Grand Duke".
3. The Polish term "Książę" can be translated either as "Prince" or "Duke". In the Lithuanian documents of the 15-16th centuries issued in Russian this term was translated as "Княжа".

Lithuania ( Lietuva )
Overview.
In the 13th century the Lithuanian tribes united under Mindovg / Mindaugas (+1263).
In the 14th century, Gedimin / Gediminas (+1341) formed a strong Lithuanian state and extended its frontiers annexing Black Russia..
Olgerd, Gedimin's son, continued his father's expansionist policies and, by conquering vast Russian territories, stretched his domain from the Baltic to the Black Sea.
Influenced greatly by their Russian subjects, the Lithuanians not only reorganized their army, government administration, and legal and financial systems on Russian models but also allowed the Russian nobility to retain its Orthodox religion, its privileges, and its local authority.
In 1386, under pressure from the hostile Teutonic Knights, Jogaila (+1434), Grand Duke of Lithuania, concluded a pact with Poland (the Union of Krewo), agreeing to accept the Roman Catholic faith, marry the Polish queen, become King of Poland, and unite Poland and Lithuania under a single ruler. Jogaila took the Polish name Vladislas II. Polish influence subsequently began to replace Russian influence in Lithuania.
Despite the provisions of the Union of Krewo, the Lithuanian state retained its autonomy in the form of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
During the reign of Vitovt (+1430) Lithuania became the most powerful state in the Eastern Europe.
Since 1447, when Casimir, Grand Duke of Lithuania, was chosen as King of Poland, the Poles elected the Lithuanian Grand Dukes as their Kings to preserve the union of the countries.
In 1569, during the reign of Sigismund Augustus (+1572), the last King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from the House of Gedimin, the Poles and Lithuanians concluded pact (the Union of Lublin) that united the two countries into a single, federated state, which was to be ruled by a single, jointly selected sovereign. Formally, Poland and Lithuania were to be distinct, equal components of the federation, each retaining its own army, treasury, civil administration, and laws; the two nations agreed to cooperate with each other on foreign policy and to participate in a joint Diet. Nevertheless, Poland had greater representation in the Diet and became the dominant partner.
In 1795 Austria, Russia and Prussia partitioned the Polish-Lithuanian state. The Russian Empire annexed the biggest part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and the Russian Emperors accepted the title of Grand Duke of Lithuania.
In 1918, Germany, which occupied the Lithuania lands during the World War I, created the Kingdom of Lithuania. In November 1918, after the defeat of Germany, the independent Republic of Lithuania replaced the Kingdom.
Notes:
1. In the Middle Ages the Russian language (or its Western dialects, which would develop in the modern Belorussian and Ukrainian) was an official language of the Lithuanian state. Since the Union of Krewo with Poland (1386), Latin and then Polish became other official languages.
2. The Russian term “Великий Князь” is translated as "Grand Prince", in Latin it was "Magnus Dux" and is translated as "Grand Duke".
3. The Polish term "Książę" can be translated either as "Prince" or "Duke". In the Lithuanian documents of the 15-16th centuries issued in Russian this term was translated as "Княжа".

***************************************************************
Lithuania ( Lietuva )
Overview.
In the 13th century the Lithuanian tribes united under Mindovg / Mindaugas (+1263).
In the 14th century, Gedimin / Gediminas (+1341) formed a strong Lithuanian state and extended its frontiers annexing Black Russia..
Olgerd, Gedimin's son, continued his father's expansionist policies and, by conquering vast Russian territories, stretched his domain from the Baltic to the Black Sea.
Influenced greatly by their Russian subjects, the Lithuanians not only reorganized their army, government administration, and legal and financial systems on Russian models but also allowed the Russian nobility to retain its Orthodox religion, its privileges, and its local authority.
In 1386, under pressure from the hostile Teutonic Knights, Jogaila (+1434), Grand Duke of Lithuania, concluded a pact with Poland (the Union of Krewo), agreeing to accept the Roman Catholic faith, marry the Polish queen, become King of Poland, and unite Poland and Lithuania under a single ruler. Jogaila took the Polish name Vladislas II. Polish influence subsequently began to replace Russian influence in Lithuania.
Despite the provisions of the Union of Krewo, the Lithuanian state retained its autonomy in the form of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
During the reign of Vitovt (+1430) Lithuania became the most powerful state in the Eastern Europe.
Since 1447, when Casimir, Grand Duke of Lithuania, was chosen as King of Poland, the Poles elected the Lithuanian Grand Dukes as their Kings to preserve the union of the countries.
In 1569, during the reign of Sigismund Augustus (+1572), the last King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from the House of Gedimin, the Poles and Lithuanians concluded pact (the Union of Lublin) that united the two countries into a single, federated state, which was to be ruled by a single, jointly selected sovereign. Formally, Poland and Lithuania were to be distinct, equal components of the federation, each retaining its own army, treasury, civil administration, and laws; the two nations agreed to cooperate with each other on foreign policy and to participate in a joint Diet. Nevertheless, Poland had greater representation in the Diet and became the dominant partner.
In 1795 Austria, Russia and Prussia partitioned the Polish-Lithuanian state. The Russian Empire annexed the biggest part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and the Russian Emperors accepted the title of Grand Duke of Lithuania.
In 1918, Germany, which occupied the Lithuania lands during the World War I, created the Kingdom of Lithuania. In November 1918, after the defeat of Germany, the independent Republic of Lithuania replaced the Kingdom.
Notes:
1. In the Middle Ages the Russian language (or its Western dialects, which would develop in the modern Belorussian and Ukrainian) was an official language of the Lithuanian state. Since the Union of Krewo with Poland (1386), Latin and then Polish became other official languages.
2. The Russian term “Великий Князь” is translated as "Grand Prince", in Latin it was "Magnus Dux" and is translated as "Grand Duke".
3. The Polish term "Książę" can be translated either as "Prince" or "Duke". In the Lithuanian documents of the 15-16th centuries issued in Russian this term was translated as "Княжа".
