Lithuanian–Muscovite Wars

The Lithuanian–Muscovite Wars were a series of conflicts between the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Grand Duchy of Moscow from the 14th to the 16th centuries. These wars stemmed from competing territorial ambitions as Lithuania expanded eastward and Moscow sought dominance over neighboring regions. The conflicts included battles for control over important trade routes and territories in Eastern Europe. Ultimately, these wars contributed to the decline of Lithuanian power and the rise of Moscow as a dominant regional force, shaping the political landscape of Eastern Europe during this period.
