Lithuania
Lithuania was once known as the Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic one of the USSR republics that existed in 1940–1941 and 1944–1990.
It was established on 21 July 1940 as a puppet state during World War II
Between 1941 and 1944, the German invasion of the Soviet Union meant that it was in a state of flux. It was once again under Soviet rule in 1944 for the next fifty years.
Following the end of the cold war, the Republic of Lithuania came into being on 11 March 1990. The Soviet Union didn’t recognise it until in September of the following year.
The National Museum of Lithuania is an important place to visit to truly understand and gain an insight into the history of the country.
