This article describes the history of Belarus. The Belarusian ethnos is traced at least as far in time as other East Slavs. Belarus is a successor of some Ruthenian principalities (Polotsk, Turov, Novogrudok, etc.), the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (with Republic of Lithuania and Poland), the BPR, the LBSR, and the BSSR.After an initial period of independent feudal consolidation, Belarusian lands were incorporated into the Kingdom of Lithuania, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Russian Empire and eventually the Soviet Union. Apart from a brief attempt at independence, known as the Belarusian People's Republic, following the political vacuum created by the World War I, Belarus only became an independent country in 1991 after declaring itself free from the Soviet Union.
