How did Lithuania expand so much without any port?
>>18441625They linked up with Poleshits only to become the junior partner.
>>18441628they were already massive before the union of Lublin
>>18441625Tartars unironically can't fight.
>>18441625As a Lithuanian, I believe it was relatively easy because the principalities to the east had already been weakened by the Golden Horde. They did not offer much resistance to being annexed, as they were granted freedom of religion and broad autonomy under Lithuanian rule.
>>18441632you know what else is massive?
>>18441632That's a huge mistake as Lithuanian becomes minority.
