Finland and Lithuania were not directly addressed in the Treaty of Versailles, as they were not part of the Central Powers and did not have a significant role in the negotiations. However, both countries had declared independence during World War I and sought international recognition. The treaty did not specifically grant them formal recognition but set a precedent for self-determination that influenced their status. Finland was officially recognized by several countries in 1917, while Lithuania gained international recognition in 1920.
