Today we write about the Latvian History blog, which treats topics related with the history of Latvia. The responsible for this blog is Maris Goldmanis, with background in history and living in Riga.
The articles of this blog mainly talk about the period before the II World War. From a formal point of view, Latvian history can be built from its cultural and political background, but also from several historical events.
Do not miss the last posted article where they present their stamps family collection, corresponding to the period between 1918 and 1940, one of the most interesting periods of Latvian history. Latvia achieved its independence with the help of the Allies, losing it twenty-two years later due to the Soviet Union annexation.
You can also use the search engine of the Ramon Marull philatelic collection to see all the stamps of this period of the history of Latvia. Finally, a curiosity: did you know that the philatelic emission of ‘Sun and ears of corn’ (1918-1920) was printed using the other side of the maps used by the German army? Enter to know the history!
