Lithuanian over the centuries, through maps

Originally published by the Lithuanian Bureau of Information in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1918, this map was re-issued in the US at the direction of the Lithuanian National Council. The individual maps trace the state of Lithuania from pre-historic times, through the reign of Mindaugas (1242-1263); Gediminas (1316-1341); under the domination of Algirdas and Kęstutis (1346-1377); the reign of Vytautas (1392-1430); and Lithuania’s status before the final partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth when Lithuania was absorbed into the Russian empire.

 

This program is supported in part by grants from the Illinois Arts Council Agency, Illinois Humanities, the City of Chicago, CityArts, as well as contributions from private members and donors. The Balzekas Museum gratefully acknowledges all donors for their support.
