Latvia & Russia: One problem of the world-peace considered

"Latvia & Russia: One problem of the world-peace considered" by Arveds Bergs, is a political work created in 1920, where Arveds Bergs, a Latvian National Council member, analyzes Latvia and Russia's tricky relationship after World War I, focusing on how it affects world peace. The book looks at the Baltic states' wish for freedom and what that means for stability in Eastern Europe and the world. Bergs pushes for Latvia to be quickly recognized as its own country. He says that after the war with Russia, older politics must change between Russia and its neighbors. He doesn't think a federated Russia will work because of past conflict and different cultures, and instead, Bergs champions small nations' rights to decide their own futures and believes that long-term peace depends on allowing nations, such as Latvia, to be independent.
