[@someonewhosupportukraine]

it was necessary to film a great tactical move when the Baltija tribe retreated and forced the swordsmen to chase and lured them into a swamp from which they never came out.

Samogitians are not Tribes, but they are Dialekt of Lithuanian Language, Shiauliai (Saule) is in Aukshtaitiya. Samogitians are Lithuanians too.

[@sargentwaag1483]

Žemaitija was a tribe. Saule was Žemaitija. It is in Aukshtaitiya now but it wasnt before. Lithuania only had one King and was killed by a Žemaičiai. Samogitians are Lithuanians but not all Lithuanians are Samogitians.

[@Fankas2000]

Žemaitija was always separate from the rest of Lithuania. It's only with the occupation of the Russian empire that Žemaitija lost its autonomy from the rest of Lithuania and as time went on, being a Žemaitis was becoming less and less popular, hence why modern day Žemaitija is so small. Real Žemaitija goes all the way to Kaunas.

lithuanian duke mindaugas for a crown sold samogitia to livonian order and for that reason we had battle of the sun...sellouts then and nothing has changed to this day...
