Lithuania is a republic in Northern Europe. The country, which lies on the southeastern coast of the Baltic Sea, has many historic and cultural links with its neighbors, which include Poland and Russia. For long periods, it was in fact part of larger states in combination with what are today neighboring countries, first from 1569 to 1795 as part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, then 1795 to 1918 as part of the Russian Empire, and finally from 1940 to 1990 as part of the USSR.
