At one time? That deserves the “Lol”.
Lithuania was part of Poland for over
400 YEARS!!!
Ethnically different? How so? This could be argued any number of ways, and it still all comes down to European regionalism identity vs. European unitary nationalism identity.
Ethnicity is based on common national and cultural tradition. Over 400 years of formal common nationality and culture exists in the case of Poland and Lithuania.
