The Soviet Union incorporated Estonia and Latvia during World War II following the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, a non-aggression treaty between the USSR and Nazi Germany signed in 1939. This pact allowed the Soviet Union to occupy and annex the Baltic states in 1940, claiming them as Soviet republics. Despite brief independence during the war, Estonia and Latvia remained under Soviet control until the dissolution of the USSR in 1991.
