Lithuanian National Revival

The Lithuanian National Revival was a cultural and political movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries aimed at restoring Lithuania’s national identity, language, and traditions after periods of foreign domination. It involved revitalizing the Lithuanian language, promoting national culture, and advocating for independence from the Russian Empire. Key figures organized literary, educational, and political initiatives to strengthen Lithuanian consciousness. This revival ultimately contributed to Lithuania declaring independence in 1918, fostering a renewed sense of pride and unity among Lithuanians.
