Riga, Latvia’s capital and the biggest city in the Baltics, was founded already in 1201. The World War II brought occupation under both, German and Soviets, and de-facto freedom was only regained in 1991. Joining NATO and the European Union (EU) in 2004 have been recent historic events. The population of Latvia has declined from 2.5 to 1.9 million since the independence from the Soviet Union.
