[PAR] [TLE] 1939 German ultimatum to Lithuania [SEP] 1939 German ultimatum to Lithuania was an oral ultimatum presented to Juozas Urbšys, Foreign Minister of Lithuania, by Joachim von Ribbentrop, Foreign Minister of Nazi Germany, on 20 March 1939.  The Germans demanded that Lithuania give up the Klaipėda Region (also known as the Memel Territory), which had been detached from Germany after World War I, or the Wehrmacht would invade Lithuania.  After years of rising tension between Lithuania and Germany, increasing pro-Nazi propaganda in the region, and continued German expansion, the demand was expected.  The ultimatum was issued just five days after the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia.  The four signatories of the 1924 Klaipėda Convention, which had guaranteed the protection of the "status quo" in the region, did not offer any material assistance.  The United Kingdom and France followed a policy of appeasement, while Italy and Japan openly supported Germany.  Lithuania was forced to accept the ultimatum on 22 March.  For Germany it was the last territorial acquisition before World War II; for Lithuania it was a major downturn in economy and morale; for Europe it was further escalation in pre-war tensions. [PAR] [TLE] Parliament of the Klaipėda Region [SEP] The Parliament of the Klaipėda Region ("Chamber of Representatives of the Memel Territory", Lithuanian: "Seimelis" ) was the parliament of the Klaipėda Region (Memel Territory), an autonomous region of Lithuania.  The parliament was established by the Klaipėda Convention of 1924 and the first elections took place in October 1925.  In all elections pro-German parties received more than 80% of the vote.  The major parties included the Memel Agricultural Party ("Memelländische Landwirtschaftspartei" or MLP), Memel People's Party ("Memelländische Volkspartei" or MVP), and Social Democratic Party of the Memel Territory ("Sozialdemokratische Partei des Memelgebietes" or SPM).  The pro-German parliament often clashed with the pro-Lithuanian Klaipėda Directorate (executive branch of local government) and the first three parliaments were dismissed before the end of their full three-year term.  The parliament was disbanded after the ultimatum of March 1939 and subsequent Nazi German takeover of the region.
