A copy of Lithuania’s lost declaration of independence, drawn up in 1918, has been discovered languishing in a German archive, and hailed by authorities as the discovery of the nation’s “birth certificate”.

Lithuania had lost track of all copies of the independence declaration, signed on 16 February 1918, in the turmoil that engulfed the region after the end of the first world war. The Lithuanian state was announced with the approval of Germany, whose army controlled the territory at the time, following a successful offensive against the Russian empire in 1915.
No translation of the actual document, I'm interested to know what the Lithuanian Founding Fathers signed to. Would be cool if it stated that only men can vote and own land, etc.

What was actually said in the declaration does exist - see wikipedia. It's quite interesting historically in the contest off WW1, with Germany wanting states to secede from the Russian empire and those states not wanting to come under the thumb of germany.
