Treaty of Tartu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Treaties of Tartu were treaties between Bolshevist Russia on one side and the newly independent Estonia and Finland, previously belonging to Imperial Russia, on the other. They were negotiated and signed in Tartu in Estonia in year 1920 after the civil wars in Finland, in Estonia, and in Russia were ended. The treaties solved disputes and controversial issues connected with the new states' independence, as for instance border issues and transfer of ownership of Russian state property.
