Military Commanders of the Baltic States: Esronia, Latvia, Lithuania, 1918-1940 (Paperback)

0
The collapse of the Romanov dynasty that had ruled Russia for 300 years created a unique set of circumstances whereby the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, which had been part of the Russian Empire, were, in 1918, able to proclaim their independence. This independence was to last only twenty-two years, until 1940, when the Soviet Unio...

Wegenkaart - landkaart Litouwen & Letland | ITMB
ITMB is very pleased to release its first-ever map of the Baltic country of Lithuania, which occupies Side 1 of this double-sided map. It is bordered by Latvia on its north, the Russian enclave of Kalingrad on its southeast, and Poland and Belarus on its south and east. It is now on the front lines of tension between Russia and its neighbours, as are all the Baltic states. It is also a valued member of both NATO and the EU, and as such is easy to access from either Poland or Latvia. Lithuania fronts on to the Baltic Sea with a major port at Klaipeda (formerly Memel), with its capital being Vilnius. Historically, the country has suffered German and Russian invasions during the 20th century, the last of which resulted in the country losing its independence completely by being absorbed into the Russian Empire in the latter stages of WW2. It regained its independence in 1991, with the collapse of the USSR and shortly thereafter applied to join both the European Union and NATO. Touristical…

Stadsplattegrond Letland - Latvia & Riga | ITMB
Een degelijke kaart met aanduidingen van o.a. nationale parken, vliegveld, benzinepomp, dirt-roads en plattegrond van hoofdstad. Als overzichtskaart goed te gebruiken. This is a brand new mapping area for ITMB. We have had a map of Riga for years, but not the country of Latvia, which now graces one side of the sheet while Riga occupies the other. The country is larger than one might think, touristically friendly, historically significant, and strategically important. Wedged between Estonia on the north and Lithuania on the south, Latvia tends to be a fast north-south route through the Baltic States, but its strength lies in being an east-west country with a very long coastline. Riga itself is a very interesting city, and our map shows it to perfection. This map would be very useful for anyone going to the Baltic Sea countries and firs very well with our companion map of Estonia/Talinn

The Lions of Finland (Paperback)
The Lions of Finland (Paperback)
After more than 100 years of subjugation by Russia, Finland took advantage of the power vacuum created by the Bolshevik uprising and resulting demise of the royal house of Romanov in 1917 to proclaim its independence. The preservation of this independence was not an easy task. The Finnish military had to fight a civil war against the Reds in 1918, and was again called into action in 1939 at the outbreak of the so-called Winter War, when the Soviet Union invaded Finland, disregarding the provisions of the previously signed Treaty of Tartu. The Winter War lasted only a few months before a peace treaty was signed, but the cost to Finland was the loss of 11% of its territory. It is therefore no surprise that when Germany launched an attack on the Soviet Union in June 1941, Finland saw an opportunity to regain what had been lost and allied itself with Germany. This alliance lasted only until 1944, when Finland, realizing that Germany was going to lose the war and that continuing the fight

Reisgids Latvia - Letland | Bradt Travel Guides
Voor vele landen net zo goed, zo niet beter dan de Planet. Beduidend soberder uitgevoerd, maar ook met veel informatie voor backpackers en met veel kaartmateriaal. Een aanrader! Engels. This thoroughly updated edition, rewritten by the current British Ambassador to Latvia, remains the only English-language guidebook with comprehensive coverage of the country. Latvia is best known internationally through its capital city Riga, whose centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site combining a medieval core providing testimony of its importance as a port of the Hanseatic League and an outer centre containing the most extensive assemblage of Art Nouveau buildings in Europe.   Beyond the capital, Latvia is much larger than Denmark or Switzerland, yet with a population of under two million is one of the most verdant countries in Europe. It is a low-lying landscape of forests, lakes and marshes, offering wonderful hiking, cycling and canoeing, with an increasing range of rural tourism options. During…

Productomschrijving

The collapse of the Romanov dynasty that had ruled Russia for 300 years created a unique set of circumstances whereby the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, which had been part of the Russian Empire, were, in 1918, able to proclaim their independence. This independence was to last only twenty-two years, until 1940, when the Soviet Union occupied all three nations. This book is intended to honor and commemorate the 100th anniversary of the declarations of independence of the Baltic States of Estonia (February 24, 1918), Latvia (November 18, 1918), and Lithuania (February 16, 1918). It provides a brief history of how these nations gained and maintained their independence, and includes biographical information about the senior officers (generals and admirals) of the armed forces during the 1918-1940 period. Forewords to the Latvian and Lithuanian sections of the book were graciously provided by Lieutenant-General Leonīds Kalniņš, the current Commanding General of the Armed
