Lithuanian province
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lithuanian province was a province of Germany established during World War I in July of 1918 by German authorities which then had control of the area. Due to the fact that war ended quickly and Germany lost sovereignty over the areas, the Lithuanian province was short-lived.
Lithuanian province consisted of 3 government precincts in territories of Oberostland:
- Vilnius (German: Wilna)
- Kaunas (German: Kowno)
- Southern Lithuania (Lithuanian: Pietinė Lietuva, German: Südlitauen)
Compared to the territory of today's Lithuania, the province had more land to the south but it did not contain Palanga and Klaipėda region.
