Lituania kuanzia karne ya 13 ilikuwa nchi huru na imara iliyoteka maeneo mengi; kufikia karne ya 15, ikiwa pamoja na Polandi, ilikuwa kubwa kuliko nchi zote za Ulaya.

Mwaka 1795 nchi hizo mbili zilifutwa, na Lituania ikawa sehemu ya Dola la Urusi.

Mwaka 1918, ikawa tena nchi huru, lakini mwaka 1940 Warusi waliiteka tena.

Miaka 1940 - 1990 nchi ilikuwa jamhuri mwanachama wa Umoja wa Kisovyeti.

Baada ya umoja huo wa majimbo 15 kusambaratika, Lituania ilijitangaza nchi huru.

Lituania imekuwa nchi mwanachama ya Umoja wa Ulaya tangu tarehe 1 Mei 2004.

Wananchi kwa asilimia 84 wanaongea Kilituania ambacho pamoja na Kilatvia ndizo lugha hai pekee za jamii ya lugha za Kibaltiki kati ya lugha za Kihindi-Kiulaya. Ndiyo lugha rasmi.
