Which partitioned territories were part of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania?

  • French

  • British

  • American

  • Russian

Answer

The answer lies in historical events dating back to the partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth between the Russian Empire, Prussia, and Austria from the late 18th century, resulting in the division and annexation of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Consequently, parts of it fell under Russian control and ultimately shaped present-day Belarus and Lithuania.
