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.
