Lithuania was always invaded by it violent neighbors, but it was GIVEN away by the President
of the USA & Winston Churchill when they said to
Stalin: “You can have Lithuania too!”
Lithuania never asked the U.N. or the U.S.A. for
help and all alone they rid themselves of the
Communist Russians – considering how minute their
size is, it IS remarkable!
Also, the 1st mapmaker in the world + best
1st University in world was established here.
The Lithuanian language is one of the oldest on
earth, older than Latin.
Because of their present day success (and the fact that they voted for a wonderful female President) they are not in the daily News.
The Scandanavians frequently travel & enjoy the
Country of Lithuania by the way.
