Summary / Abstract:
ENA presentation of systematised factual information and statistical data on Lithuania’s national war experience in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In the centre of attention are four wars that were fought in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries under the Lithuanian flag: the 1830–1831 and 1863–1864 uprisings, the 1919–1920 Lithuanian War of Liberation and the 1944–1953 Lithuanian Partisan War against the Soviet Union. The accumulation and generalization of factual information and statistical data was done by employing and correspondingly adapting the methodology and techniques of the Correlates of War project, a quantitative study of the history of warfare that was begun in the United States in 1963 and is still being carried out.
