Lithuanian-Polish Dispute

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Numbering about four millions, the Lithuanian race represents a survival of an entirely separate and distinct branch of the Aryan family, and is related neither to Slavs nor Teutons, being far more ancient than either. Lithuanians are believed to be autochthonous to the Baltic shores, the territory they still occupy to-day. It may be noted that it was probably the Lithuanians who gave its name to the Baltic Sea, the word Baltic meaning white in Lithuanian.
