This is the first complete account of the diplomatic relations and
military steps leading to Estonia's, Latvia's, and Lithuania's
forcible absorption into the USSR in 1940. David Crowe-making use
of recently opened archival sources-traces the Baltic states'
relations with the Soviet Union, Germany, Poland, Great Britian,
France and with one another from 1917-1940. He starts with an
overview of 1917-1936 and then offers a detailed description of the
diplomatic maneuvering that marked Europe's collective slide toward
war. Crowe covers the Sudeten and Memel crises involving German
communities in 1938, the German-Soviet Pact in August 1939, the
mutual assistance pacts between the Baltic States and the USSR, the
Baltic German migration, Soviet use of Estonia's military
installations during their assault on Finland, and the subsequent
Soviet occupation of the Baltic states. The story ends with the
election of new, Soviet-sponsored legislatures that sought
admission into the USSR as Soviet republics in 1940-a step that
most Western countries never recognized, and one that the Baltic
states finally reversed when they regained their independence
fifty-one years later in August 1991.
