Latvia was under foreign dominion from the 13th until the 20th century. After the first world war it declared independence which Russia recognised in 1920.
Two decades later, following a pact between Stalin and Hitler, Soviet troops invaded in 1940 and Latvia was absorbed into the Soviet Union. Nazi forces pushed the Soviets back in 1941 but the Red Army returned in 1944 and remained for half a century.
Latvia gained independence in 1991 and joined NATO and the EC in 2004. About a quarter of the population is Russian speaking. A Latvian language test has to be passed to qualify for citizenship.
