Baltic States

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

Baltic States

Collective name for the countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, bordering on the east coast of the Baltic Sea. They were formed as independent states after World War I out of former territories of the Russian Empire. The government of the USSR recognized their independence in peace treaties signed in 1920, but in 1939 forced them to allow occupation of important military bases by Soviet troops. In the following year, the Baltic states were absorbed into the Soviet Union as constituent republics. They regained their independence in September 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
