History
• Estonia was settled  near  the end of the last glacial era,  beginning  from  around  8500 BC.  Before  the 
German  invasions in the  13th  century  proto - Estonians  of the Ancient Estonia worshipped the spirits 
of nature. Since the Northern Crusades Estonia became a battleground for  centuries  where  Denmark
Germany , Russia, Sweden and  Poland  fought their many  wars  over  controlling  the  important  
geographical  position  of the country as a gateway  between  East and West. Being conquered by 
Danes and Germans in 1227, Estonia was ruled initially by Denmark in the north, by the Livonian 
Order , an autonomous  part  of the Monastic state of the Teutonic Knights and Baltic 
German ecclesiastical  states  of the Holy Roman  Empire . From 1418–1562 the  whole  of Estonia was 
part of the Livonian Confederation. After the Livonian War, Estonia became part of the Swedish 
Empire from the  16th  century to 1710/1721, when it was ceded to the  Russian  Empire as the  result  
of the Great Northern War.  Throughout  this  period  the Baltic German nobility enjoyed autonomy, 
where the  language  of administration and education was German.
• The Estophile Enlightenment Period 1750–1840 led to the Estonian national  awakening  in the  middle  
of the  19th  century. In the aftermath of World War I and the Russian revolutions, the Estonian 
Declaration of Independence was issued in February 1918. The Estonian War of 
Independence ensued on two fronts between the newly proclaimed state and Bolshevist Russia to 
the east and the Baltic German forces (the Baltische Landeswehr) to the south, resulting in the Tartu 
Peace  Treaty  recognising Estonian independence in perpetuity.
• In 1939-1940, Estonia was occupied and (according to e.g. the USA, the EU, and the European Court 
of Human  Rights ) illegally annexed by the  Soviet  Union as a result of the Molotov–Ribbentrop  Pact
During the war Estonia was occupied b yNazi Germany in 1941, then reoccupied by the Soviet Union 
in 1944. Estonia regained independence in 1991 after the collapse of the USSR and joined 
the European Union in 2004.

Estonia is a country of  thousand  of lakes. In the Estonian territory there are about 
1200 natural lakes  whose  water area exceeds 1 ha. The largest of these is Lake 
Peipsi , which is the  fourth  largest freshwater lake in Europe. Most of Estonia's lakes

and Lake  Võrtsjärv  are  rich  in fish. One can  find  rare  species  of fish such as the lake 
whitefish and the Peipsi smelt in Lake Peipsi. Võrtsjärv is  famous  for its catches of 
pike- perch  and eel, which are regarded as a delicacy.

kilometres. The most important rivers are the Pärnu River and the  Emajõgi  River.

The local cultural heritage offers as much variety as the nature. Many rare work and mythological motives are retained in folk songs. The flax-growing that spread rapidly in the beginning of the 19th century was the basis of the prosperous Mulgi family farms in Southern Viljandimaa. 19. The second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century constituted the golden age for many local families. The mulgi inhabitants were actually the first farmers in Estonia who bought the farms for their families after being released from the servitude. The farming was developed rapidly thanks to flax-growing. The wealthiest farmers gained even so much money that for the first time in history Estonian farmers became owners of mansions. The wealthy mulk were the first of Estonian farmers to build manses, until then the farmers all over Estonia lived in farmhouses that included a barn so that people and animals lived under one roof

Introduction Estonia, officially the Republic of Estonia (Estonian: Eesti or Eesti Vabariik) is a country in the Baltic region of Northern Europe. It is bordered to the north by Finland across the Gulf of Finland, to the west by Sweden across the Baltic Sea, to the south by Latvia (343 km), and to the east by the Russian Federation (338,6 km). The territory of Estonia covers 45,227 km² and is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. The Estonians are a Finnic people closely related to the Finns, with the Estonian language sharing many similarities to Finnish. The modern name of Estonia is thought to originate from the Roman historian Tacitus, who in his book Germania (ca. AD 98) described a people called the Aestii. Similarly, ancient Scandinavian sagas refer to a land called Eistland, close to the German term Estland for the country.
