rdfs:comment

Another Baltic identity, Baltic German, began to develop during the Middle Ages after the Livonian Crusade. Interestingly, Latvians are related to Estonians historically and genetically, with Latvians and Estonians being genetically most similar nations in European Union and to Lithuanians genetically, culturally and linguistically.
  • The Baltic states are a group of four Northern European countries east of the Baltic Sea — Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Prussia, which gained independence in the wake of World War I. In the interwar period the Baltic states also included Finland.
