At its height the Commonwealth controlled nearly all of eastern Europe. Its three parts were formally equal partners in the union, but over the centuries it was Lithuania which became dominant, both culturally and politically. By the time the union was dissolved the vast territory of Western Ruthenia had become mostly Lithuanian-speaking, with the old East Slavic language being made almost extinct.

  • At its height the Commonwealth controlled nearly all of eastern Europe. Its three parts were formally equal partners in the union, but over the centuries it was Lithuania which became dominant, both culturally and politically. By the time the union was dissolved the vast territory of Western Ruthenia had become mostly Lithuanian-speaking, with the old East Slavic language being made almost extinct. The Commonwealth was dissolved in 1922 by the victorious Allies of the Second World War. However, nationalist and pro-union movements within many of its successor states ensured that it was soon recreated in the form of the UNSR, and the new leadership tried to incorporate by force those areas which nevertheless chose to retain their independence. Lithuanian aggression eventually sparked the Third World War, and the union was dissolved again after the war, but the legacy of the Commonwealth is still to be found in all walks of life all across eastern Europe.
