&gt; Why do you think the border here moved after WW1? Of cource it<br/>
&gt; moved north of the Nemunas (germ. Memel) river, but not here<br/>
<br/>
I didn&#39;t pay attention to the fact that the &quot;Memel&quot; area starts <br/>
further North. My error.<br/>
<br/>
&gt; Some corrections:<br/>
&gt; 1920 - 1940: Germany/Lithuania<br/>
&gt; 1940 - 1945: Germany/Soviet Russian occupation<br/>
&gt; 1945 - 1990: (USSR occupation)<br/>
&gt; 1990 - 1991: USSR / Lithuania<br/>
&gt; 1991 - today: Russia/Lithuania<br/>
<br/>
I guess the wording depends on the political views one is brought up <br/>
with. I didn&#39;t mean to take sides with this issue. But it seems we <br/>
agree on the facts, except on the date when Lithuania became <br/>
independent again. I got my 1991 date from a quick web search, which <br/>
seems to confirm what I thought, namely at the same time the Soviet <br/>
Union broke up. Your 1990 date seems to suggest that Lithuania became <br/>
independent earlier. Is that so? Is it also true for the other Baltic <br/>
states?<br/>
<br/>
