First, known habitation of Lithuania dates back to the final ice age, 10 000 BC. The hunter-gatherers were slowly replaced by farmers. The origin of Baltic tribes in the area is disputed but it probably dates to 2500 BC. These forefathers of Lithuanians were outside the main migration routes and thus are among the oldest European ethnicities to have settled in the approximately current area.
Lithuania expanded eastwards into what is now Belarus and Ukraine. However, they faced a growing threat from the Teutonic knights. They were an order of German knights who crusaded against pagans in the Baltic. The flag currently used by Lithuania is a horizontal tricolor of yellow, green and red.It was formally adopted on 20 March 1989, two years before Lithuania regained independence and after the Soviet Union dissolved.
Russia attempted to immerse Lithuania in Russian culture and language, but anti-Russian sentiment continued to grow. Following the I World War and the collapse of Russia, Lithuania declared independence (1918), under German protection. In 1990, the Supreme Council rejected Soviet rule and declared the restoration of Lithuania's independence, the first Baltic republic to take this action.
At this time, many other nations were creating new flags that resembled the French tricolor which represented freedom. The red, green and yellow flag of Lithuania was inspired by native Lithuanians living in other countries and was first flown when independence from Russia was granted in 1918.
After the revolution Lithuania’s longing to have an independent state grew. Of course, Russia was aware of this. That is why they thought of a solution to resolve this problem. It was here that the question of having a Lithuanian national flag arose.
Lithuanian's flag colors are based on the country's traditional national dress - the yellow stripe represents the sun, Lithuania's fields of wheat and prosperity; the green symbolizes the country's forests, flora, and hope; and the red stands for the blood spilt for independence, courage and the people's love for Lithuania.
