The Baltic states, also known as the Baltics, Baltic nations or Baltic countries (Estonian: Balti riigid, Baltimaad, Latvian: Baltijas valstis, Lithuanian: Baltijos valstybės), are the three countries in northern Europe on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The Baltic states cooperate on a regional level in several intergovernmental organizations.
While the indigenous populations of Latvia and Lithuania are known as Baltic people, those of Estonia are Finnic people. Another Baltic identity, Baltic German, began to develop during the Middle Ages after the Livonian Crusade.
Linguistic and historical considerations intersect in defining the concept of "Baltic states": for example, while Latvian is phylogenetically related to Lithuanian (both belonging to the Baltic group of the Indo-European language family) Estonian belongs to a completely different family – the Uralic languages. At the same time, despite considerable linguistic proximity, politically Latvia and Lithuania have gone different ways for most of their history, Lithuania at one point forming a commonwealth with Poland, giving rise to one of the largest countries in Europe at the time; while Latvia has shared most of its history with Estonia, both being governed by a Baltic German élite for more than 700 years. The Livonians (a nearly extinct ethnic group closely related to Estonians) have also participated in the ethnogenesis of Latvians: according to most accounts, the assimilation of (Uralic) Livonians by ancient (Indo-European) Baltic tribes formed the basis of what are today known as the Latvian language and Latvians.
The easiest and most relaxing way to discover the Baltic region of Europe is, of course, to embark on one of the many cruise ships that sail from Copenhagen to Helsinki. However, if you are a land-lover, or simply prefer to explore at your own pace, you can easily drive through some of the smallest, least-known but most beautiful countries in Europe.

We, Lithuanians, Latvians, and Estonians stand here 25 years onwards – alive, united, strong, and determined to follow the Baltic Way to freedom. Far from being alone, we are more than six million and we are not going to give up. Our hearts are beating in the same rhythm and burning with love for our countries and our nations. The occupation began 75 years ago and lasted for half a century. It could have continued onwards, but not for our nations that demonstrated their awareness of the true value of unity 25 years ago and showed how strong they were. During the ensuing period of freedom we attained much more than in all the years of repression. We forged strong alliances and secured our membership of powerful global organisations. Our states are sovereign and enjoy independence of politic...

With a strong growth in disposable income forecasted for the coming five years, the Baltic countries hold a great potential for manufacturers of indulgent foods. However, competition has stiffened following a number of new innovative launches from chocolate manufacturers. Competitors will have to react or they are likely to see the growth opportunities on the Baltic markets slip out of their hands.

Documentary The Hidden Story of The Baltic States tells about the history and causes of rise in the Baltic States the government systems based on succession of states which existed until 1940 and succession of local governments established during the Nazi occupation. According to the authors opinion, in the modern Europe people don't want to see problems in the Baltic States, don't want to discuss the real history of the Baltic. While discussing the situation with human rights or the glorification of the Nazis in the Baltic States, European politicians use the standard phrase -- "hidden problem". This hidden problem is the threat for the foundations of European integration and security. The short version of documentary The Hidden Story of The Baltic States was to be in the exposition Buil...
The Baltic Tragedy - Bloody Soviet occupation in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania
The fascinating capitals of Finland and Estonia offer a chance to sample each country's history, art, and distinct love of life. We'll start in Helsinki with its Neoclassical old town, modern flair for design, and steamy saunas. Then it's just a two-hour boat ride to Tallinn — with its medieval charms and newfound prosperity — celebrating its freedom and thriving in its post-USSR renaissance. © 2010 Rick Steves' Europe
