Abstract
ON THE RECOGNITION OF THE STATEHOOD OF LITHUANIA BY KAISER GERMANY ON 23 MARCH 1918 The article focuses on an outstanding episode from the period when the Act of Independence of Lithuania of 16 February 1918 was proclaimed: just over a month later, Germany recognised the statehood of Lithuania. Although this event was undoubtedly significant for the establishment and consolidation of an independent state, due to various circumstances it has not been adequately discussed and evaluated in Lithuanian historiography until now. For a long time, such research was hindered by a limited base of available sources. The increased availability of German archival material and the appearance of new fundamental studies on the period of the First World War in Lithuania by foreign authors provided an opportunity for corresponding Lithuanian research. KEYWORDS: Kaiser Germany, Council of Lithuania, Oberost, recognition of independence, notification document, delegation, trip, Berlin.
