Bielorrusia In reply to olosz18 [2010-09-06 20:08:35 +0000 UTC]

I know. I simply added towards the fact that Hidekaz only gave credit to the two literal nations within the name is all. The Grand Duchy of Lithuania, conquered a big portion of Europe, then when the threat of Russia became apparent, the addition of Poland happened (-which Lithuania had been declining and saying no to, as Poland wanted part of Lithuania's territory but until it was absolute neccesary the Lithuanian goverment kept saying no), thus came to be the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Until it was all annexed, partition and well the cake slice happened, some other events and it basically all ended as it is today in modern times. All I was saying is, Hidekaz only added Poland and Lithuania as the members of the commonwealth, excluding the other nations which where part of it, some who were always from the very beggining with the Lithuanian's till the seperations and so on. So I just wrote to inform, no. It's not just them, and because I adore Belarus, I added the fact that she had been with them and was also part of said commonwealth.

I basically go from the stand-point of Belarus from what I know (-this drawing is also from my own perspective, with Belarus as the main subject), I know the other nations which composed the old territory but as I said, the ones which truly effected the nation Belarus by a term of control, from what I've learned from the history are the following ones, minus the first ones that were with her and she had also joined the Grand Duchy of Lithuania since the very beginning, even before Poland became part with Lithuania back in the old days.

I was just indicating that, it's not just Poland and the nation itself wasn't the first. That's all really, sadly history books still need to be translated, so my knowledge is a tad limited to what I can find around the net. I'm not trying to say or indicating other nations didn't have part of it or never were part of it, cause it's a known fact. I'm just reminding, Belarus was also part of it! History is a big subject, so it's not weird I just picked one part perspective, rather then the entire bunch, since some nations don't interest me. I'm sure, if people were to search and read about both the timeline of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania or the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth do to genuine interest to understand the periods better, they would also learn, from the written text, it's not just limited to the literal names with the titles, but it involved some other nations as well.
