History of Latvia: A brief synopsis
Latvia was originally settled by the ancient people known as Balts. In the 9th century the Balts came under the overlordship of the Varangians, or Vikings, but a more lasting dominance was established over them by their German-speaking neighbours to the west, who Christianized Latvia in the 12th and 13th centuries.

Monetary History of Latvia
Latvia was declared as independent Republic on 18 November 1918, actually in the midst of a lengthy process of political and military encounters of several powers pursuing entirely different goals. WWI began for Latvia in mid-1915 and ended with the withdrawal of the Soviet Latvian forces in early 1920. The changes of administrations of the country and parts of it were as numerous as hardly anywhere in the world. [eng] |
