"In 1934, as the Estonian economy was failing, the League of Veterans, mostly from the First World War, threatened the political order with the imminent election of a Naziesqe regime"

Naziesqe?! Whether the League of Veterans had anything more to do with nazism than mere superficial similarities is highly questionable. Saying they wanted an imminent nazism regime to take place however is clearly NOT NEUTRAL. Androg 21:25, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

I did a major clean up of your article. I agree that "Naziesque" is not a good description of that kind of regime. Similar movements were occuring in many European countries in the 1930s - in Ireland, Spain, Italy, Finland, etc. I also took out a lot of the "explanations" for why things happened, and stuck mainly with the facts.

People can decide for themselves. They don't need history spoonfed to them.

Looks good. :) Androg 08:57, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Vaps is an Estonian abbreviation for vabadussõdalane, individual member of this movement.
