100th anniversary of Latvia’s international recognition de iure
It was on 26 January 1921 when Latvian diplomats had succeeded in accomplishing a
momentous task – the world’s great powers recognized Latvia de iure. Although Latvia declared its independence on
18 November 1918, only after a confused period of fighting, the new nation was recognized in 1920.
