Early in 1939 Germany attacked the Soviet Union and a few days later the Nazi forces overran Lithuania. Lithuania was returned to Soviet domination in 1944 after the tide of the war turned against Germany. Since the Soviets reentered Lithuania in 1944 many. many thousands of her citizens have either fled the country or were deported. In addition. large numbers of Russians have come in which has effected a great change in the composition of the population of Lithuania. The independent Lithuanian Government was recognized by the United States in 1922. and we have never recognized her incorporation into the Soviet Union.
