23rd June 1919 - Whilst WW1 formally ended on 11th November 1918, the impact of the conflict continued throughout the world, particularly in the East where there was now a huge power vacuum as the German, Austro-Hungarian and Russian empires had all fallen. This day is important for Estonians as it is their Victory Day. On this day, the final battle of Cēsis ended as a victory for the combined Estonian-Latvian force over the German forces under von der Goltz.
