Lithuania was the first part of the USSR to leave as it was falling apart. But given that the Soviet Union had a large army and was able to crush any attempt at secession why didn't it? Why did the USSR just let Lithuania leave? To find out watch this short and simple animated history documentary.

Interesting fact: Denmark actually never stopped recognizing the Baltic nations independence after 1940, they just closed their Embassies and acted like nothing happened. Then when the Soviets collapsed Denmark just reopened the Embassies, again, like if nothing happened. [Edit] Thanks for correcting me, it's true, Ambassadors are the people, and Embassies are the building. Sorry I got them messed up.

Technically, the Soviet constitution explicitly stated that the Union Republics (like Lithuania) could leave whenever they want to. Obviously Moscow wasn’t overly concerned on what their own laws actually said

Ok, I know this is just a 3 minuter, but there was a lot more soviet intervention than this suggests. Vilnius tv tower definitely deserved a mention. When I visited Lithuania I was shocked at the events that generally went unreported in the west

“Bread lines aren’t a sign of a strong economy.” What a good economic life lesson.

My father was there at the television tower when the Soviets open fired. A short video like this really can't capture how tense and brutal things were

In the tough times of summer of 1991, Lithuania recognized Croatia. It meant a lot to us. Love to Lietuva from Hrvatska!❤🇭🇷🇱🇹

There's a street in every Lithuanian town named Islandijos gatvė in appreciation of Iceland's support to the restoration of independence. I think it's a nice touch, even if most Icelandic people don't know about it.

I have a video idea: How did the Roman Government react to Pompeii?

I spent an autumn in 1991 protecting our parliament with a gun. Soviets called us Nationalists in a sense of Nazis and illegal armed gangs, not recognizing as a proper military force. But we won in the end and Soviet army left our country in 1993.

Lithuania wasn’t “allowed” to leave the USSR they fought for their independence

Because James Bissonette decided that Lithuania was too based for the Soviets

"And so he sent troops into Lithuania to nominally protect the Russian-speaking people there from a decaying government" Hey, I've seen this one!

The Soviets did use force against Lithuanian civilians when they drove over them with tanks on January 13, 1991. 14 killed and over 140 injured.

The 1988 Olympic basketball team was a major source of Lithuanian discontent. 4 of the 5 starters were Lithuanian, but Moscow took credit. That got us both the Dream Team and the 1992 Grateful Dead Lithuanian tie-dye uniforms. The early 90s were so awesome...

We gotta give a huge applause to Nordics (and Moldova) for being the first ones to recognize Lithuania, in spite of possible retaliation from USSR.

Proud to be Lithuanian, remember as a kid standing together with others protecting important buildings.

Being 7 years old, remember armoured vehicles with troops on top driving through my residential street in capital Vilnius, arrogantly waving. This image stayed with me until this day, can't even imagine what any Ukrainian feel at the moment

What's interesting about Latvia, Lithuania's neighbor, is that it also declared independence in 1990 (May of that year), and also suffered a half-assed intervention from Moscow, but nobody pays attention to it.
