Introduction Lithuania Background: Independent between the two World Wars, Lithuania was annexed by the USSR in 1940.

The last Russian troops withdrew in 1993. Lithuania subsequently restructured its economy for integration into Western European institutions; it joined both NATO and the EU in the spring of 2004. ”
