How Lithuania survived the chaos of Eastern Europe's post-war borders
In 1919 and 1920, Lithuania's newly declared independence was threatened by overlapping territorial claims. This documentary explores how the nation navigated a violent landscape of shifting borders and competing powers.
Following the end of World War 1, Lithuania found itself caught in a period of intense regional turmoil. The nation faced simultaneous territorial threats, as lands that are part of modern Lithuania were claimed by both Poland and Soviet Russia. This struggle occurred while these two powers were actively engaged in warfare in the immediate vicinity of the Lithuanian borders. The film examines the precarious situation of the Baltic states during this era of revolution and conflict.
