800-1200 A.D. Raids and counter-raids by Vikings around the Baltic Sea, including by Estonian Vikings. Most famous of those events is when Estonians kidnapped the Norwegian Queen Astrid and her son and future King, Olaf Trygvesson.
1030 Novgorod’s Prince occupies Tarbatu and founds town of Juryev (now Tartu). Juryev was recaptured and destroyed in 1061 by Estonians who invaded Pskov.
1208 – 1227 Estonia is confronted by, and subsequently converted to, Christianity and is occupied by foreign powers: Teutonic Orders and Danes. The Germans become landed gentry and wield huge influence for 700 years.
1561 Control over Estonia goes to Sweden. This starts the so-called ‘Swedish Golden age in Estonia’.

Why calling yourself EESTI? You are just an incestous mix between danes swedes finns and russians. So please be kind of STFU NOW
Эстония - нищебродская финляндия которую ЕС взял как содержанку.
Единственное достижение этой страны - копипаста стокгольмского гамла стана. Лол
Lets all pray for Estonia
God bless this country

Not many people do, now there is the SJWs (Social Justice Warriors) which is basically Marxism applied in social rather than economic terms using capitalism as the engine this time around. There's always a bunch of assholes trying to subjugate others for their own selfish or utopian desires.
Estonia has a Texas themed restaurant, so its pretty much a legitimate nation in Texas's eyes. If that means anything.
Hi, I am from Russia, Moscow and I visited Estonia in 2013. I must say that I was very much impressed with Tallinn, it is a beautiful european city (which I can't say about my native town, Moscow) blooming with tourists from all over the world, and personally I believe that Estonia will be the second Finland by 2050. I did not participate in the illegal occupation of Estonia and I want to say that not all russians are like that...
yeah, and Russin will always remain Russia.

Estonians are an Uralic people whose original homeland was in Siberia around the Uralic mountains. Estonians are related to Saamis, Komis, Finns, Udmurts etc. Traditionally hunters-gatherers, they learned the art of agriculture at some time after arriving at the Baltic Sea. Any Indo-European traits you may see in them are of foreign origin. Their language is obscure and archaic in structure, although its lexicon has been contaminated with Germanic loanwords and Slavic euphemisms.
