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.

Not to dispute anything you say, because I know next to nothing about Lithuania and Poland, but the Moors ruled Spain for 700 years!!! (711-1492; when Columbus sailed the ocean blue). Most Spaniards and Spanish culture do not identify as being Arab or Islamic today.
