Description Lithuanian coup 1926.png |
A flyer that was distributed in Kaunas after the December 17, 1926 coup d'état in Lithuania. It reads: "TO THE PUBLIC Lithuanian army, which sacrificed lives for dear Lithuania and is still ready to spill blood for its independence, seeing that the current Seimas and government are selling Lithuania to Bolsheviks and foreigners decided to temporarily take the power in its hands so that the power could be transferred as soon as possible to real sons of Lithuania. MARTIAL LAW IS DECLARED IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, and siege law in KAUNAS. Everybody is commanded to go about their duties; those who will not do their duties will be tried in military tribunal. Temporary war government" |
