Lithuania Worldview
Lithuanian History and Culture:
Lithuania is a small country, of approximately 65,200 km2, with 3.5 million people. Lithuania is located in Eastern Europe and is bordered by Belarus, Latvia, Russia, and Poland (See Image 1). 81% of the population is Lithuanian, while 9% is Russian, 7% is Polish, and 1% is Byelorussian ("Lithuania," 2004). Lithuanians were the last Pagans in Europe, however, religion now takes the form of Catholicism primarily located in the Northern part of the country (personal communication D. Deimante, November 11, 2004).
During Roman times, Lithuania traded amber with Rome. The countryside was split into various language groups: Lithuanians, Prussians, Latvians, Semigaalians, and others. In 1230, Lithuania emerged as a nation, under the leadership of Duke Mindaugas. Lithuanian tribes became united and were able to ward off attacks by the Teutonic Knights. By 1253, Duke Mindaugas became king, however Lithuania was not able to fully separate itself from Polish rule ("History," 2004).
More than 500 years of turmoil later, in 1795, an alliance between Prussia and Austria and Russia ended Poland's independence, and Lithuania fell also as a Russian province. Despite insurrections in 1831 and in 1863, the country remained under the control of the Russian Empire. During this reign, Russian social and political institutions were forced upon Lithuania. Lithuanian schools, publications in Latin script, and the Roman Catholic Church were forbidden. However, despite this oppression, the indigenous cultural institutions and language still flourished ("History," 2004).
