There are many reasons why the Soviet Union invaded Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania (The Baltic States). Russia has always wanted to get near to the Baltic Sea and wanted to rule the sea but fortunately the Russia has never succeeded. The other reason was that the Soviet union wanted to spread communism all over the world and they had to start from the Baltic States. The Soviet union(Russia) has never respected the nations and they didn't care about the people, they just wanted more power and land.
Yes and during the rule of Stalin many native Lithuanains , Latvians and Estonians vere exiled to Siberia after Stalins death they vere aloved to come back to theyr homes but the whom survived exile found theyr homes destroyed because of war or colonised by Russians. Like parasites the government tried to colonise our countries but sadly only Lithuania fougth the colonisation by guerila warfare form 1945-1953. But now you can see the Russian minority in Latvia and Estonia is huge and wants to bring the "good old days''
