    Acta Poloniae Historica 121, 2020 PL ISSN 0001–6829 Tomas Balkelis https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7712-4234 Lithuanian Institute of History A DIRTY WAR: THE ARMED POLISH-LITHUANIAN CONFLICT AND ITS IMPACT ON NATION-MAKING IN LITHUANIA, 1919–23 Abstract This article discusses the armed Polish-Lithuanian confl ict during 1919–23. It fl ared in May 1919 when the fi rst open clash between Lithuanian and Polish troops took place. It gradually escalated into an undeclared war and lasted until late November 1920 when, in Kaunas, both sides agreed to stop fi ghting along the neutral zone established by the League of Nations. However, there was no fi nal peace agreement signed, only a truce, and low-scale paramilitary violence continued unabated in the neutral zone until as late as May 1923. The author argues that the confl ict involved various paramilitary formations which terrorised the civilians in the disputed borderland. For the Lithuanian government, the war against Poland provided an opportunity for total mobilization of the Lithuanian society. The fact that, during the entire interwar period, the confl ict remained open-ended, ensured that the paramilitary structures and military laws that emerged during it would remain in place for much longer. Keywords: Polish-Lithuanian War, Soviet-Polish War, violence, paramilitarism, ethnic confl ict, nation-making I INTRODUCTION This article is based on my recently published monograph War, Revolution and Nation Making in Lithuania, 1914–1923 (Oxford, 2018). It traces the history of the armed Polish-Lithuanian confl ict and explores its impact on nation-making in interwar Lithuania.

  • Imperial Past of Ancient Lithuania in the Historical Memory of the Modern Independent Lithuania*
    ZESZYTY NAUKOWE UNIWERSYTETU JAGIELLOŃSKIEGO Prace Historyczne 141, z. 2 (2014), s. 409–433 doi:10.4467/20844069PH.14.020.2748 www.ejournals.eu/Prace-Historyczne IMPERIAL PAST OF ANCIENT LITHUANIA IN THE HISTORICAL MEMORY OF THE MODERN INDEPENDENT LITHUANIA* Zenonas Norkus Vilnius University ABSTRACT IMPERIAL PAST OF ANCIENT LITHUANIA IN THE HISTORICAL MEMORY OF THE MODERN INDEPENDENT LITHUANIA The paper is an inquiry into the origins and impact on the historical culture of modern Lithu- ania of the view of GDL as an empire. The inventor or discoverer of the GDL as empire was a Lithuanian geographer and geopolitician Kazys Pakštas (1893–1960), who provided seminal im- periological analysis of the ancient Lithuanian polity in his book Political Geography of Baltic Republics (1929). This work was probably the main source of inspiration for the Antanas Smetona (1874–1944), who was Lithuanian President in the years 1926–1940. He repeatedly designated GDL as an empire in his speeches, starting with the celebration of the 500th death anniversary of Vytautas Magnus in 1930. An important exponent of this idea was Vytautas Alantas (1902–1990), who served as editor-in-chief of a semi-official newspaper “Lietuvos Aidas” in 1934–1939 and contributed to the discourse on GDL as an empire in the Lithuanian diaspora. Because of ideologi- cal reasons, the subject of ancient Lithuanian imperialism was avoided by Lithuanian historians in the Soviet era. In the post-communist times, Gintaras Beresnevičius (1961–2006) resurrected and popularized the idea of GDL as an empire to legitimize the Eastern strategy of the foreign policy of the contemporary Lithuanian state and to mythologize the challenges of the Lithuanian membership in the European Union.
