Estonia Latvia LithuaniaThree small republics occupy the eastern
shore of the Baltic Sea. In 1940, they came under Soviet rule, but in the 1990’s with the collapse of the Soviet Union, they
became independent democracies with free enterprise economies.
Let’s take a look at them now.

EstoniaEstonia is the smallest of the three Baltic countries. Low plains, forests and swamps cover the land. Mild Baltic Sea winds keep the country from getting too hot or too cold. This country has large deposits of oil shale, a rock that contains oil. Most Estonians have close ties to the Finns. 30% of the population is Russian. Capital: Tallinn

Latvia
Latvia’s location on the Baltic Sea has made it a trading center. As a result, Latvia’s industrial development is better than the other Baltic Republics. Latvia has a mild climate over its landscape of coastal plains, low hills and forests. Only 53% of the population is Latvian. Under Soviet rule, many Russians settled there. They have had conflicts in the past and often clash today.
