 Mitteleuropa - definition of Mitteleuropa in Encyclopedia
Outside of Germany, the concept of Mitteleuropa may be best known for that policy of the Central Powers during World War I which assumed the creation of several buffer states in Central Europe, liberated from Imperial Russia and commonly viewed as puppet states.
By their creation, growing dissent in the occupied areas could be answered, and resources needed to fight the war on the Western Front more efficiently could be spared.
Mitteleuropa is a German term approximately equal to Central Europe

 Lithuania - Open Encyclopedia
Under the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, a smaller Lithuania established its independence in February 1918 as a part of German planned Mitteleuropa, in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, and then as a republic in November, after Germany's defeat in World War I.
The republic intended to consolidate territories where Lithuanians lived and turned down the idea to re-establish union with Poland.
