Byelorussia (Bialorus -- Belarus) This was one of the earliest areas settled by the Slavs. Byelorussia is situated between Livonia, Lithuania, Poland, the Ukraine, and Russia. Variant spellings of this region are Belarus, Bielorussia and Belorussia. After the 1200s, the area fell under Lithuanian control. During the First Partition of Poland in 1772, Russia took control of eastern Byelorussia. The central area was taken during the Second Partition in 1793, and the remaining section was taken during the Third Partition in 1795. This area also is referred to as White Ruthenia or White Russia HAH! So how many of you knew that ;D Franek
