Estonia's strategic geopolitical location-a crossroads where the major powers of northeastern Europe have struggled for influence-and the small number of ethnic Estonians are crucial factors that have shaped the history of the area and its inhabitants.The book emphasizes the period since the mid-nineteenth century, when a national movement calling for Estonian cultural and political autonomy began to emerge. During the two world wars, Estonia gained and lost political self-determination. Yet a modern Estonian culture was firmly established, and a strong sense of national identity survived the Soviet era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51974575620384,"sku":"NEW0817928529","price":28.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/estonia-and-the-estonians-second-edition-updated-hoover-institution-press-publication-0817928529","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
