==Politics== Samogitia historically was an autonomous region in the [[Grand Duchy of Lithuania]], although it lost this status once Lithuania was annexed by the [[Russian Empire]] following the Third [[Partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth]] in 1795 as a part of the [[Vilna Governorate|Vilnius Governorate]]. In 1843, Samogitia was incorporated into the [[Kovno Governorate|Kaunas Governorate]], with a minor part attached to the [[Courland Governorate]]. Since then, Samogitia has not had a separate political status, but there were attempts to create a separate state during the [[November Uprising|uprising in February 1831]]. Currently, Samogitia is represented by the [[Samogitian cultural society]], a group interested in preserving Samogitian culture and language.
