Baltic Sea

Stalin annexed the Baltic countries—Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—into the Soviet Union in 1940, following a secret protocol of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact with Nazi Germany. The Soviets imposed harsh policies, including land reforms, collectivization, and political repression, leading to mass arrests and deportations of perceived enemies. During World War II, the Baltic states were occupied by Nazi Germany from 1941 to 1944, after which they were reoccupied by the Soviets, who further intensified their control and suppression of local identities. This period marked a significant loss of sovereignty and imposition of Soviet ideology in the region.

Germany was a major player in both World War I and World War II and is located between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. Its strategic location and industrial capabilities significantly influenced the course of both conflicts. Germany's involvement in these wars shaped much of 20th-century history and had lasting impacts on Europe and the world.

In June, the weather in the Baltic region typically features mild to warm temperatures, ranging from about 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). It's generally a pleasant time to visit, with longer daylight hours and a mix of sunny and cloudy days. Rain is possible, so occasional showers can occur. Overall, it's a favorable month for outdoor activities and exploring the beautiful coastal areas.

The location of the Baltic States—Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—along the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea significantly influences their economic, political, and cultural dynamics. Proximity to both Western Europe and Russia has historically made them focal points for trade and geopolitical tensions. Their coastal position facilitates maritime trade but also exposes them to security risks, particularly from aggressive neighboring powers. Additionally, their location fosters a unique blend of cultural influences, reflecting both Nordic and Slavic traditions.

The Baltic Sea was formed during the last Ice Age, approximately 10,000 years ago, when retreating glaciers carved out the landscape of northern Europe. As the glaciers melted, they filled the depressions with water, creating a series of glacial lakes that eventually connected to the North Sea. Over time, the sea's salinity evolved due to the mixing of freshwater from rivers and saltwater from the North Sea. Geological processes and post-glacial rebound have further shaped its current form.

The cost of an island in the Baltic Sea can vary significantly depending on factors such as size, location, accessibility, and infrastructure. Prices can range from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars for a private island in the Baltic Sea. It is recommended to contact local real estate agents or island brokers for more specific information.

The Estonia sank in the Baltic Sea off the coast of Finland, near the Finnish island of Uto. The exact coordinates of the wreckage are approximately 59° 23' N, 21° 43' E.

The Baltic Sea is surrounded by several different types of plate boundaries. To the north, there is a passive continental margin where the Eurasian Plate borders the Arctic Plate. To the south, the border is a convergent plate boundary where the Eurasian Plate meets the North American Plate. This boundary has created the uplifted landmasses of Sweden and Finland.

The Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, and Estonia (south to north) form the western border of Russia. Poland and Lithuania border the Baltic Sea port of Kaliningrad, which is physically separated from the rest of Russia.

The Gulf of Bothnia is the northernmost extension of the Baltic Sea. It is located between Sweden and Finland.

The Baltic Sea has lower salinity levels compared to other seas because it receives a large input of freshwater from rivers and precipitation, which dilutes the salt content. Additionally, limited water exchange with the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean hinders the replenishment of salts in the Baltic Sea, contributing to its lower salinity levels.

Shipwrecks in the Baltic Sea and the Great Lakes are often better conserved due to lower salinity levels, colder water temperatures, and a lack of wood-burrowing organisms that can degrade the wrecks. These factors contribute to slower deterioration rates and better preservation of the wrecks compared to those in the Atlantic Ocean and other salt seas.

The capital of the country south of Latvia with a Baltic Sea coastline is Vilnius, which is the capital of Lithuania.

The country of Georgia is located on the eastern shore of the Black Sea.

St Petersburg and the Conclave of Kaliningrad

Poland and Denmark

There is no such country and therefore no such capital.

If perhaps you meant to ask about the Mediterranean and Black Seas, the answer would be Turkey.

If perhaps you meant to ask about the Baltic and Black Seas, the answer is Russia.

There are nine, Sweden, Russia , Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Finland and Denmark
