19-23 June 1919: The Battle of Cēsis—The German Baltische Landeswehr, with Entente approval, played a crucial role in liberating Riga from Soviet occupation in May 1919, but in early June attacked north toward Estonia; at Cēsis, Latvian & Estonian forces decisively defeated the Germans, through the use of armored trains; on 3 July, the Entente imposed a ceasefire & dissolved the Landeswehr.
Lest we forget.
