Estonia

Estonia is a nation in the Baltic region bordering the Russian Empire and Latvia.

History

The region that would be Estonia was among the regions in the Russian Empire invaded by Prussia during the Austro-Prussian War. As Prussia neared St. Petersburg, Russia sued for peace. The Baltic Governorates were divided into spheres of influence between Prussia and Sweden. estonia was made an independent kingdom under the rule of Charles, brother to King Wilhelm of Prussia.

Adolphe of Livonia was succeeded by his son, William, in 1905. However, William only had daughters with no son to succeed him. Though William attempted to amend the constitution to allow for a daughter to become queen, this move was blocked by prominent conservatives. Germany and Sweden convened, and Livonia was divided between Courland and Estonia.

When Sweden became the Nordic Empire in 1906, Estonia expressed interest in joining. However, this was protested by both Russia and Germany, and found little support in the new Kalmar.

During the The Great War, Estonia declared its neutrality, though gave logistical support to Germany. Estonia did the same during the Russo-German War.
