A historical account of Lithuania’s struggle for independence, told through the lens of wartime upheaval and diplomatic effort. This edition presents the case for a sovereign Lithuania founded on language, culture, and self-determination.
The text surveys centuries of effort to restore Lithuania’s independence, tracing how language, education, and national identity shaped the drive for self-rule. It situates the nation’s plight within the chaos of World War I and the shifting lines of power in Europe. The work compiles arguments, key dates, and declarations that framed Lithuania’s path to statehood.
Readers will encounter a chronological and documentary-style exploration of unions, treaties, and the movements that asserted Lithuania as a distinct nation. The narrative includes the 1917–1918 period when German influence and international diplomacy intersected with Lithuania’s declarations of independence and the pursuit of recognition from global powers.
Ideal for readers of history, international law, and national independence movements seeking a concise view of Lithuania’s claim to self-rule.
