On January 3, 1920, the rifles, machine guns, cannons and armoured trains of Estonian soldiers fell silent in the War of Independence. A final truce began. A month later, the victory of Estonians was carved in stone with the signing of the Tartu Peace Treaty. Today in Tallinn, a solemn ceremony took place to commemorate those who fell in the Estonian War of Independence. We will never forget their sacrifice.
Almost every Estonian has an ancestor or family member who participated in the War of Independence and contributed to the formation of our country. Today is dedicated to their memory.
