24 mar 1928 ano - Mindaguas II Dies

Descrição:

From the beginning Wilhelm's reign was controversial. Four of the twenty members of the Council of Lithuania left in protest. Germany recognized him as King, but none of the Entente powers did. After Germany's advance in the Western (and by then, the only) front and the seemingly imminent German victory, Wilhelm was crowned in a grand ceremony in Vilnus in 1920. Mindaugas' rule was quite short, only 8 years as crowned King. In this time, he faced the many problems that a newborn nation had. His rule saw Lithuania join German-led Mitteleuropa and forming close ties with other members of the alliance, especially the United Baltic Duchy in the north. He died on 24 March 1928 and was succeeded his son Karl Gero, who was crowned as King Mindaugas III.
