10+ Amazing Facts About Lithuania
What’s in the Name?
The name Lithuania was referenced without precedent for the Annals of Quedlinburg in 1009. Toward the finish of the fourteenth hundred years, Lithuania was the biggest country in Europe. The Kingdom of Lithuania was shaped by various clans living nearby at that point.
The Kingdom immediately extended outwards into the Russian terrains, which were then constrained by the Mongols, as well as parts of Belarus, Poland, and Ukraine. By the late fourteenth century the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was the biggest and most impressive realm in Europe.
The ruin of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania came toward the finish of the eighteenth hundred years, when the Commonwealth was ended and Lithuania was actually divided among Prussia’s and Russia’s domains. Today Lithuania has a populace of around 2,850,400 individuals, and the land area of 65,300 square kilometers (25,212 square miles).
