Lithuanian Wars of Independence

The Lithuanian Wars of Independence, also known as the Freedom Struggles, refer to three wars Lithuania fought defending its independence at the end of World War I: with Bolshevik forces, Bermontians, and Poland. The wars delayed international recognition of Lithuania’s restored independence and the establishment of its civil institutions.
