Brit here, I just back from Lithuania. All I can say is: I effing loved it so much! Vilnius is gorgeous, the people are amazing and chilled. I can't sing their praises enough! I urge everyone to visit!
Modern Belarus is historical Litva. Modern Lietuvos is a fake Russian occupiers, who invented this fake country to distort the historical truth and to destroy the memory of great Lithuania.
This was a great summary of Lithuanian history, you missed couple of major events but I guess you cant fit them all in 5 min video. Video was great and one of the best I have seen about Lithuanian history you got a like from me and I want to thank you for spreading knowledge about my countrys past, its old glory days and fight for survival for the last couple of centuries. I feel like Lithuanias history most of the time gets ignored and brushed to the side or not acknowledged at all and its so refreshing to see that you used Lithuanian authors for the information in this video because a lot of videos made about Lithuania dont even use Lithuanian material, they use over countries historians material which paints the picture to fit their own perspective and because of that a lot of our history, accomplishments and struggles gets claimed as theirs or completely devalued.
this just shows how good a king can be "Vytautas" he expanded lithuania 3x times in size and after he died its been going downhill. hands down lithuania was a biggest threat in medieval times
As of being a son of a History teacher I can say only that this is quite a good explanation. I would change some things but I still give this a 10/10 the ones I have watched aren't fully explained so good job and thank you for making our country not be forgotten. LOVE FROM LITHUANIA
@@ayay415 But it usually means they have more experience with the subject. Probably know a little bit more if their parent is passionate than the bored history students who only memorise a couple things for the test.
Aside missing out on the partisan movement in the mid 20c (which had a huge impact on cultural identity) and misrepresenting the PLC, esp the partitions, this was a great summary video! 9/10
Thats rare to see a video (that is made by foreigner) about Lithuania and its history and not to see mistakes. You told it really good and balanced everything really good. Great video and nice to see that you actually put in work and research into making this video. Good job

Hi Mr. History! I like how you narrated in every video you posted. Aside being an informative, it's also being entertaining. I hope you don't stop giving knowledge to others and help them to their studies especially in history. Please also make a video of History of Philippines. :) more power!
This man did such a good job with pronouncing these names, imma go watch the German one, because I wanna compare my North German Pronunciations to his English-German ones.
Ah, yes, nothing like the lithuanian history I learned in 5th grade repeated in 5 minutes. Also, man, great job on pronouncing the lithuanian names :D.
Well when put it like that it sounds so strugglesome 😅 pretty good name pronounciation 😄 great vid! Captures the essensce. Another pretty boastful fact about lithuania is how ancient the language is. So ancient that linguists have it in their curriculum. So the all the known and unsung book-carriers that kept the language alive really are legendary. Glory be theirs.
I feel like they barely touched topic of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which is a very interesting part of their history. So basically Poland and Lithuania were united under one crown for over 400 years (for some time it was the biggest coutry in Europe, there was even a period when they had access to 3 seas). It all started in 1386 (Union of Krewo) when Jadwiga (female king of Poland) married Jogaila (grand duke of Lithuania), after them the coutries always had one ruler. Then from 1569 (Union of Lublin) they truly became one country known as Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Then in 1795, as a result of the partitions, they disappeared from the maps for over 100 years. Officially they separeted in 1918 when after WW1 they came back as saparate countries. Since then they were under Russian influence, then WW2 happened and they disappeared again, they regained their full freedom from Russia only little over 30 years ago. So you can really say that they shared their history from 1386 (till 1990's), from the wedding that was the most important wedding in history of the Europe to this day.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. - This article is about a geopolitical term used for grouping the three countries on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea in Northern Europe. The Baltic states (Estonian: Balti riigid, Baltimaad; Latvian: Baltijas valstis; Lithuanian: Baltijos valstybės) or the Baltic countries, also known as the Baltic nations, and less often as the "Baltic republics", the "Baltic lands", or simply the Baltics, is a modern unofficial geopolitical term, typically used to group the three sovereign states on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea in Northern Europe Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The term is not used in the context of cultural areas, national identity, or language, because while the majority of people in Latvia and Lithuania are Baltic people, the majority in Estonia are Finnic.[1] The three governments engage in intergovernmental and parliamentary cooperation. There is frequent cooperation in foreign and security policy, defence, energy, and transportation. All three countries are members of NATO, the European Union, the eurozone, and the OECD. Estonia is currently a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. All three are classified as high-income economies by the World Bank and maintain a very high Human Development Index.
