Byelorussia^[b], officially the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic, is a constituent republic of the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe. It borders Lithuania to the west, Latvia to the northwest, Russia to the east and Ukraine to the south. With a population of 12.78 million in 2022 and an area of 207,600 km², it is the 6th largest republic of the Soviet Union by area and population. The capital and largest city is Minsk. Other cities of significance include Gomel, Mogilev, Vitebsk and Grodno.

Byelorussia formed part of the East Slavic state of Kievan Rus' in the Middle Ages, from which it gets its name of "White Rus'". Much of Byelorussia fell under the control of Lithuania and later Poland-Lithuania in the 13th century, before this territory was conquered by the Russian Empire in the 18th century. Despite Russification attempts, Byelorussian culture and identity experienced a revival that culminated in Byelorussia's declaration of independence from Russia in 1918. Following the Russian Civil War and Polish-Soviet War, Byelorussia fell under the control of Poland in Western Byelorussia and under a soviet republic in the Soviet Union, which Byelorussia was a founding member of. The boundaries of modern day Byelorussia were set after World War II with Soviet annexations of Polish territory. After World War II, Byelorussia became a founding member of the United Nations alongside Ukraine and the Soviet Union.

-Byelorussia has been variously ruled over by different kingdoms, principalities, and other such states.

The {{wp|Partitions of Poland}} in the late 1700s brought Belarus under the control of the {{wp|Russian Empire}}, which in 1917 collapsed with the {{wp|Russian revolution}} and the ensuing {{wp|Russian Civil War|civil war}}. Byelorussia declared its independence from Russia as the {{wp|Belarusian Democratic Republic|Byelorussian Democratic Republic}}, but the {{wp|Bolshevik}}-led {{wp|Socialist Soviet Republic of Byelorussia}} and later the Byelorussian Socialist Soviet Republic took over Byelorussia by the 1920s. {{wp|Western Belarus|Western Byelorussia}} fell under control of {{wp|Second Polish Republic|Poland}} in the {{wp|Polish-Soviet War}}, while in 1922 the Byelorussian SSR was one of the founding members of the Soviet Union, along with Ukraine, Russia, and {{wp|Transcaucasian SFSR|Transcaucasia}}. Territorial concessions from Russia and the {{wp|Soviet invasion of Poland}} resulted in the modern day borders of Byelorussia, with the exception of the {{wp|Belastok Region|Białystok region}} which was returned in 1945. The {{wp|German invasion of the Soviet Union}} in 1941 saw Byelorussia lose a quarter of its population and half of its economic resources due to military operations. After the war, Byelorussia became a founding member of the {{wp|United Nations}} alongside the Soviet Union.
