Under the terms of the Paris Peace Treaty in 1921 it was annexed to the Serbo-Croat-Slovenian Kingdom, that later became Yugoslavia. The new name of this territory, situated to the east of present Croatia, was VOJVODINA (also spelled Voivodina or Voyvodina). Its former Hungarian name had been Bacska and Banat. During World War II, in 1941, Germany occupied Yugoslavia. At the same time, Hungary took possession of and re-annexed VOJVODINA from divided Yugoslavia. At the end of 1944, the Serbs reoccupied Bacska, which has belonged to Serbia ever since.

Despite considerable linguistic proximity, politically Latvia and Lithuania have gone different ways for most of their history. Lithuania formed a commonwealth with Poland, giving rise to one of the largest countries in Europe at the time; while Latvia and also Estonia were ruled by the Baltic German elite for over 700 years. After the collapse of Livonia, parts of Latvia and Estonia came under influence of the Commonwealth and Sweden. In the 18th century the lands of all three countries were gradually absorbed into the Russian Empire. The Baltic states gained independence after the First World War, but were incorporated into the Soviet Union during the Second World War, regaining independence in the early 1990s. All three countries are members of the European Union, NATO and the Eurozone. languages The languages of Baltic nations belong to two distinct language families.
