Estonia was not allowed to take sides.

When Germany invaded Poland in 1939 the Estonian government were forced by the Soviet Union to have 25,000 Russian troops stationed in their country. In June 1940 the Soviets blockaded Estonia and invaded with 90,000 troops and the country was forced to surrender.

Estonia was incorporated into the Soviet Union after sham elections and those who did not vote were condemned to death or deported to Siberia.
