| - Lithuania (Lithuanian: Lietuva), officially the Republic of Lithuania (Lithuanian: Lietuvos Respublika) is a country in Northern Europe, the southernmost of the three Baltic states. Situated along the southeastern shore of the Baltic Sea, it shares borders with Latvia to the north, Belarus to the southeast, Poland, and Memel Territory (until is annexation in 1930) and East Prussia to the southwest. Across the Baltic Sea to the west lies Sweden and Denmark. Kaunas is the temporary capital. The officially declared capital is Vilnius (Polish: Wilno), under Polish Control. Conflicts with Poland and East Prussia have burdened Lithuania's international diplomacy. Domestically, however, they fed the development of national identity and cultural awareness, displacing German and Polish influence. The Conference of Ambassadors, with the agreement of the LoN, transfered the mandate of Memel Territory in 1930. By the Memel Convention signed between France, on behalf of the LoN, and Lithuania it establishes the former mandate has an autonomous region of Lithuania (Klaipėda Region, Lithuanian; Klaipėdos kraštas).
