And as for the Nazis goes - they had a pact with the Soviets at that time remember.
Nope. The Moltov-Ribentrop pact gave Latvia to USSR (which is why it was ocupied in the first place).


I know what Rzeczpospolita means in modern Polish, but I thought it was what they called themselves...
so what was the Lithuanian-Polish alianced called then? [/b][/quote]
Long long time ago, when both of these countries were united it was a Principality (księstwo is the Polish word for it).

And Rzeczpospolita is not a modern-Polish word by the way. It is still being used with the name Poland together: Polish Republic.
